Reece Lyon's superb late goal in his first start gave Morton a win away to Queen of South in the Championship.
The visitors had already gone close before Bob McHugh nodded in after Gregor Buchanan headed a free-kick back across the six-yard box.
Queens were level on 65 minutes when Stephen Dobbie's volley found its way past Morton goalkeeper Derek Gaston.
But 18-year-old midfielder Lyon pounced on a long throw to crash a swerving effort into the right-hand corner.
It lifts Morton, who had conceded five goals away to Ross County on Saturday, level with hosts who drop to fifth place - but behind on goal difference.
