Charlie Telfer's fine finish ensured Greenock Morton beat Partick Thistle to move up to fifth in the Championship.
The former Rangers and Dundee United midfielder latched on to a perfect through ball by Reghan Tumilty and found the bottom corner.
Morton led early when Scott Tiffoney chipped Jamie Sneddon wonderfully from 25 yards after a defensive mix up.
Thistle's equaliser was from the same range - Craig Slater's exquisite strike in off a post.
Partick Thistle manager Gary Caldwell: "Look, it sounds like a broken record. Every week's the same. That's not good enough, it has to change and I'm sure it will.
"The first-half angered and disappointed me. We wasted a half of football - people not wanting to take responsibility, people not wanting to run and conceding a ridiculous goal."
Greenock Morton manager Jonatan Johansson: "A great way to finish the year, to get back on the winning trail and a really hard-fought win.
"The counter attack was something we talked about because at times Thistle play expansive and leave themselves open at the back - that's why Tiffoney started."
