Morton 2 - 1 Ross County: Bob McHugh nets late winner
With the game approaching the final ten minutes, substitute Denny Johnstone knocked the ball down to McHugh who fired an unstoppable half-volley high beyond Scott Fox.
Ross County began the day top of the table and they took a deserved lead on 58 minutes through Don Cowie. Iain Vigurs, majestic throughout, played a glorious pass and the former Scotland internationalist raced clear and toe-poked beyond Ryan Scully.
