Queen of South narrowly beat 10-man Alloa Athletic to move to within two points of third-place Rangers in the Scottish Championship.

Kevin Holt's second-half header proved to be enough to extend Alloa's winless run to 12 games.

Wasps goalkeeper Craig McDowall twice denied Queens' Derek Lyle as Queens struggled to break down a stuffy Alloa side.

The visitors almost levelled when Isaac Layne's effort was cleared off the line before Kyle Benedictus was dismissed for two bookable offences.

A vital win for Queens which keeps them in the play-off mix. They coped well against an uncomprimising Alloa side who offered very little up front but defended well.
