Ross County 2 Queen's Park 1 Jonathan Flynn was the hero for Ross County as they came from a goal down to beat Queen`s Park 2-1 in the Scottish Communities League Cup first round. The Third Division outfit took the lead in the fifth minute when striker Michael Daly rose highest to convert Craig Smith's header. As Queen's Park pushed to double their lead, the game was turned on its head five minutes before the break when Daryll Meggatt was sent off for the visitors after fouling Mark Corcoran on the edge of the area. Corcoran went close from the resultant free-kick. And the home side's pressure showed after 57 minutes when Corcoran set up Colin McMenamin to lash into the top corner for the equaliser. The Staggies did not let up, though, and McMenamin turned provider for Flynn to head the home side into the second round in the 75th minute. |
