Alloa Athletic climbed off the bottom of the Championship after Jack Hamilton's late strike against Morton secured a third consecutive win.

The on-loan Livingston striker finished from close-range when Kevin Cawley's low cross was not cleared.

Ton had taken the lead through Greg Kiltie's penalty following Andy Graham's trip on the forward.

But Graham drew Alloa level almost immediately by poking the ball in from 10 yards, before Hamilton struck.

Jim Goodwin's part-time side move up to eighth in the league with the victory, leaving Falkirk at the foot of the table and Partick Thistle in ninth.

There are only four points between sixth-placed Morton and the Bairns at the bottom.

Alloa have 'four cup finals left'

Morton manager Jonatan Johansson: "We've had our chances to climb out of it and now we're right in it. Too many games this season we've been soft with simple clearances and set pieces; we need to defend better.

"The spirit and desire is there, but since the New Year we've just not been good enough. It'll be a long week now but it's something we have to deal with."

Alloa manager Jim Goodwin: "This is the time of the season to put a run together. It's that word character again. We go 1-0 down but our players don't know the meaning of letting their heads go down.

"We're over the moon. But as soon as you start thinking it's comfortable, it can come back to bite you. We've got four cup finals left."
