St Mirren finally notched their first home win of the season with a 1-0 win over Raith at Paisley 2021 Stadium.

After recording their first win of the season anywhere earlier this week, it looked like being a return to usual frustrations for the hosts when Ben Gordon had to go off injured after just 18 minutes.

They almost took the lead shortly after as Kyle Magennis burst into the box before firing a cross out of John Sutton's reach.

That was as close as either side came before the interval.

But Lewis Morgan gave the Buddies' long-suffering fans something to shout about by scoring only their fourth goal at home this season after 47 minutes to clinch the victory.

Dundee United made it 11 games unbeaten in all competitions as they beat Ayr 1-0 at Somerset Park in the Ladbrokes Championship.

Tope Obadeyi got the visitors off to a flying start with his second goal for the club after six minutes, finishing off a sweeping counter-attack to catch Ayr cold.

The hosts pushed to find an answer after the break, but Ray McKinnon's side held firm to maintain the pressure at the top of the Scottish Championship table.

Dundee United remain second, only behind leaders Hibernian on goal difference, while Ayr slip to eighth.

Hibernian cruised to a 2-0 victory over Dumbarton at Easter Road to remain top of the Scottish Championship.

The hosts slightly shaded a scrappy opening to the game, with Paul Hanlon's aerial ability a constant threat to Dumbarton as he forced Alan Martin to scramble across his goal to deny a near-post header in the 40th minute.

Dumbarton failed to heed the warnings and Hanlon was rewarded for his persistence just before the interval, powering home from Jason Cummings' corner to finally break the deadlock.

Brian Graham doubled Hibs' lead with 14 minutes remaining, finding space in the box to bring the ball down and volley home to ensure the hosts remained top.

Queen of the South ended a run of seven straight Scottish Championship defeats by salvaging a 2-2 draw at Falkirk.

Stephen Dobbie put the visitors in front against the run of play after 34 minutes, finishing off a fine one-two with Derek Lyle to notch his 15th goal of the season.

But Myles Hippolyte levelled things up in first-half stoppage-time with a superb free-kick from the edge of the box, before putting the hosts in front with a cross that evaded everyone - including visitors' goalkeeper Lee Robinson - in the 54th minute.

That lead lasted only six minutes, with Lyle turning from provider to scorer as his header earned Queen of the South a point on the hour-mark.

Michael Moffat netted twice as Dunfermline edged a dramatic first half to beat Morton 2-1 at East End Park.

The visitors made a strong start and almost had something to show for it when Jai Quitongo was brought down in the box, but Dunfermline's Sean Murdoch guessed correctly to save Thomas O'Ware's sixth-minute spot-kick.

Moffat then capped off his 100th appearance for the hosts with a carbon copy brace as he twice intercepted lapse back passes to fire Dunfermline into a 2-0 lead, before Aidan Nesbitt pulled one back for the visitors just before the break.

Morton were unable to force the issue any further after the interval and they missed the chance to leapfrog Falkirk, while Dunfermline move up to seventh.
