Queen of the South were relegated from the Scottish First Division as Raith Rovers secured their survival.

Raith moved into the lead on the quarter-hour mark, Brian Graham firing home Joe Hamill's cross.

John Baird turned in Jamie Walker's centre to double the hosts' lead nine minutes after the break.
