Livingston moved to within a point of William Hill Championship leaders Falkirk after a 3-2 home win over Morton.

After leapfrogging Ayr into second place after Saturday’s stoppage-time win at Somerset Park, Livi struck three times in eight minutes, having fallen behind.

Arron Lyall put Morton, whose 11-game unbeaten run was ended by Falkirk last Friday, ahead in the 28th minute but the home side responded in stunning style.

Australian Tete Yengi, with his fourth goal in five games, levelled within a minute before two quickfire goals from Danny Wilson and Andrew Shinnie saw them take control.

Substitute Niall McGinn added a second for Morton in stoppage time.

Hamilton moved out of the relegation play-off place at the expense of Dunfermline after a 1-0 home win over their nearest rivals.

The Accies, who had lost six of their previous seven, made the decisive breakthrough just past the hour mark through Stuart McKinstry, who hit the crossbar five minutes later.

Bottom-of-the-table Airdrieonians gave their survival hopes a boost with a 1-0 home win over Raith Rovers.

Lewis McGrattan netted the only goal 12 minutes from time as Airdrieonians extended their unbeaten run to five games and moved to within seven points of the Pars.
