Mark McGuigan scored twice as Stenhousemuir reached the League One play-off final
Queen's Park were relegated to League Two after Mark McGuigan's brace helped Stenhousemuir set up a League One play-off final meeting with Peterhead.
McGuigan headed in Alan Cook's cross to put the Warriors in front.
But Gerry McLaughlin levelled when he stooped and nodded in Ross Millen's low delivery.
McGuigan rolled in off the post to notch his 23rd goal of the season after Harrison Paton's fine pass as Stenny completed a 3-2 aggregate victory.
Stenhousemuir are seeking an immediate return to League One after relegation last year. Queen's Park drop down to League Two following a couple of seasons in League One.
The Spiders' Aidan Keena had hit the crossbar from 30 yards early on at Hampden before McGuigan opened the scoring.
McLaughlin's first goal of the season brought the hosts level and it came from Millen's low cross after Robbie Leitch had drawn a free-kick.
Millen later suffered a head injury and there was significant concern for the right-back as he received treatment for several minutes before he left the field on a stretcher and was taken to hospital.
Stenny's winner was created brilliantly by Canadian Paton, with a fine through ball and equally good low finish in off the far post by McGuigan.
Post-match reaction:
Stenhousemuir manager Brown Ferguson: "It was a very tight game but I feel we deserved to get through to the final.
"McGuigan's second goal was a brilliant finish given he's been out with a rib injury. It was a great surging run by Harry Paton.
"Peterhead were the favourites for the league and we know we're going into this week as the underdogs, but we've had a decent record against them."
Queen's Park manager Gus MacPherson: "We've lost out and we're frustrated but we've got more to worry about in terms of the player in hospital.
"That's where my thoughts are at the moment. He's concussed.
"The ball's hit him in the face at point blank range, so we're concerned."
