Dom Thomas had a tame penalty saved for the visitors, who played the final 10 minutes with ten men after Charlie Fox received a straight red card.

Raith Rovers manager Ian Murray: "I thought we were excellent. The intensity we went after the ball was incredible. Across the park, we closed them down, we didn't give them a second to get the ball down.
"The boys were determined to put last Sunday right. They've been bang at it this week and they were at it this afternoon."
Queen's Park head coach Owen Coyle: "We didn't play to the level we are capable of playing. We didn't pass the ball around like we are known for.
"Everything is still in our hands, we've come a long way in a short time, but we don't want to stop now."
