Ross County recorded their biggest home win of the season in an entertaining 3-1 win over Morton.

The home side should have wrapped the match up in the first half but after going 2-0 up, they let Morton back into the match.

Alex Bone opened the scoring in the second minute when he fired in an angled drive from the edge of the six yard box.

Derek Holmes doubled County's advantage on 22 minutes when he hammered the ball home after a goal-mouth scramble.

But Morton hit back four minutes before the break when Ross Matheson turned in Karim Boukraa's cross.

County restored their two goal advantage a minute after the break when Craig Taggart netted with a superb 25 yard effort.

The Greenock side had the chance to get back into the game in the 57th minute when they were awarded a penalty, but Paul McDonald skied the ball over the bar.
