STERLING DISPLAY BY QUEENS AS THEY BOW OUT OF DIVISION ONE IN STYLE

Champions Ross County ended the season in style with a 5-3 win at Queen of the South.

Daniel Carmichael put the hosts ahead after 10 minutes when he found the back of the net with a 25-yard strike.

Stuart Kettlewell headed Michael Gardyne's cross into the bottom corner just a minute later to level the scores.

Allan Johnston's men were back in front four minutes later after Sam Parkin rose to head home Carmichael's corner.

Six minutes before half-time, Gardyne tucked away an equaliser from the edge of the area.

Gavin Reilly regained the lead for the Doonhamers with a neat finish after 53 minutes before Colin McMenamin brought the Staggies back level for the third time in the game, four minutes later.

Gardyne then smashed home Gary Miller's cross 13 minutes from full time to put County ahead before Kurtis Byrne came off the bench to secure the victory in stoppage time.
