Before we go, let's take another look at all of the goals from Hampden tonight.
FT: Queen's Park 1-2 Raith Rovers
Queen's Park boss Callum Davidson tells BBC Scotland: "I asked for a better attitude than last week and I got it.
"I don't really like talking about the referees but I'm going to have to. I don't understand how there wasn't a pass back in the first half. For the penalty Sean Welsh is pushed.
"In the second half I thought Raith started well then we came strong again. The ball rolls out of play and we play on.
"I think we played much better tonight. We didn't show ourselves in the true form against Falkirk. I think we deserved at least a point if not more."
FT: Queen's Park 1-2 Raith Rovers
Raith Rovers boss Neil Collins tells BBC Scotland: "It's a fantastic feeling. It's not been our best performance of the season but the three points was the most important thing.
"In the first five minutes we had a good opportunity but from that moment on there was definitely concerns.
"But when we got the goal we started to show signs of winning the ball back, pressing high and I think from that point we looked really comfortable up until the last 10 minutes.
"The big thing for me is Aidan Connolly's goal summed up his personality. He kept going. In moments in games like that it's about can you capitalise? And the boys capitalised.
"We've got our first away win, it's long overdue, the boys more than deserve it. Tonight maybe we got a couple of breaks. Sometimes all you need is that first away win and the confidence comes from that."
FT: Queen's Park 1-2 Raith Rovers
Queen's Park's Jack Thomson tells BBC Scotland: I thought at times we played some really good stuff but football can be really cruel sometimes. I think we felt that tonight.
We've not been starting games very well, that's probably the best we started in quite a while then the sucker punch with the penalty. I think we lost our way a wee bit at half-time. It's a difficult one but we've got to take the positives from it.
You saw us play some really good stuff tonight, we just need to take our chances going forward.
FT: Queen's Park 1-2 Raith Rovers
Raith Rovers goalkeeper Kevin Dabrowski tells BBC Scotland: "It feels brilliant.
"I couldn't ask for more. Christmas is coming so Merry Christmas.
"If we lost a goal in the early minutes it wouldn't have been that good for the team.
"You need to use your instincts and I'm happy we didn't concede.
"To make all Rovers fans happy for Christmas it's just brilliant. I'm happy we can get the three points."

It was a game that had absolutely everything. We probably expected a different scoreline at half-time but football's a funny old game.
FT: Queen's Park 1-2 Raith Rovers
Raith Rovers' Aidan Connolly tells BBC Scotland: "It's been a bit of a tough season with Ian Murray leaving at the start and the new manager coming in.
"He's been brilliant we've just been a bit inconsistent.
"We were getting a battering in the first half and I was saying to the boys just stick in. We knew the second half wasn't going to be any worse. We changed to a three at the back at half-time and I think that helped us with the press.
"I thought the ball was out of play [for the goal]. I don't care, I've scored and I've not scored in a while.
"I don't think we can talk about that [play-off places] now. We have got to just go into the next game and continue getting three points."

Dylan Easton delivers a Raith free-kick into the Queen's Park box but it's cleared by the navy shirts of the hosts.
Aidan Connolly's controversial goal delivered Raith Rovers' first away win in the Scottish Championship this season as they narrowed the gap on hosts Queen's Park.
Holding a surprise 1-0 lead, the crafty Connolly scored what proved to be the match-winning goal as he robbed Dane Murray of the ball in the corner when the defender was adamant it had trickled out of play.
As the Spiders stood as statues, Connolly smashed Neill Collins' side, who had been under the cosh for the majority of the first half, into a shock two-goal lead.
The visitors had rarely frequented forward when they were awarded a penalty when midfielder Sean Welsh was penalised for handball.
Lewis Jamieson snuck his spot kick underneath Calum Ferrie, who had had a quiet game up until then, in stark comparison to Rovers goalkeeper, Kevin Dabrowski.
He made a number of good saves throughout the night, but could only watch on with bated breath as Zak Rudden inexplicably smashed a close-range effort off the face of the crossbar when the game was goalless.
Luck was on Rovers' side and inside the opening three minutes, they appeared fortunate not to concede an indirect free-kick as Shaun Byrne passed back to Dabrowski who cleared it with his hand.
Stunned at what he was witnessing, Callum Davidson made substitutions and substitute Ryan Duncan lashed in a goal seconds after coming on, though it proved to be only a consolation for Queen's Park who remain in fifth, four points ahead of Rovers.
Queen's Park manager Callum Davidson: "I asked for a better attitude than last week and I got it.
"I don't really like talking about the referees but I'm going to have to. I don't understand how there wasn't a pass back in the first half. For the penalty Sean Welsh is pushed.
"I think we played much better tonight. We didn't show ourselves in the true form against Falkirk. I think we deserved at least a point if not more."
Raith Rovers manager Neill Collins: "It's a fantastic feeling. It's not been our best performance of the season but the three points was the most important thing.
"In the first five minutes we had a good opportunity but from that moment on there were definitely concerns.
"But when we got the goal we started to show signs of winning the ball back, pressing high and I think from that point we looked really comfortable up until the last 10 minutes."
