Queen of the South moved level with third-place Hibernian in the Scottish Championship with victory over Livingston.

Andy Dowie powered in a header for Queens' opener but Livi were level by the break.

Jordan White made the most of a defensive mishap to equalise.

Queens lost goalkeeper Zander Clark to injury before Derek Lyle's strike put the hosts ahead again.

Reilly blew a great chance before  Iain Russell made sure of the points from close in as Queens ran the Livi defence ragid in the closing stages.

Queens eventually overcame a stuffy Livi side in the second half with a fine display with Carmichael,Lyle,Russell and Reilly pushing up.
