St Johnstone 2-1 Queen of the South: MacDonald boosts Saints
PETER MacDonald preserved St Johnstone's unbeaten home record to maintain their slim hopes of mounting a First Division title challenge.
The striker's late double overcame Stephen Dobbie's brilliant opener, but the game was overshadowed by a sickening head injury sustained by Saints striker Andy Jackson, who rushed to hospital after lengthy on-field treatment.
The visitors took the lead when Dobbie's audacious 25-yard lob from the left touchline squeezed into the top corner.
But MacDonald poked home an equaliser and rounded-off the comeback with a sparkling piece of penalty-box play.
