Queen of the South came from behind to beat Falkirk 2-1 in the first leg of the Premiership quarter-final play-off at Palmerston on Tuesday night.
Blair Alston gave the Bairns an early lead but Bob McHugh equalised 10 minutes after half-time and the on-loan Motherwell striker popped up to win it in the last minute for Jim McIntyre's men.
The second leg goes ahead at The Falkirk Stadium on Saturday, with the winners progressing to face Hamilton Accies on May 13 and 18.
