Queen of the South made it back-to-back Scottish Championship victories with a dramatic 3-2 win over Ayr.

Patrick Reading fired Ayr in front after seven minutes when he converted from Michael Miller’s cross.

Ayo Obileye converted a 29th-minute penalty after Miller handled in the box, before Connor Shields struck from 12 yards in the 32nd minute – a goal that looked like being the winner until some late drama unfolded.

Gregor Buchanan’s own goal in the last minute of normal time look to have earned the visitors a point, but Shields bagged his second in stoppage time.
