Ross County have secured promotion back to the Scottish Premiership at the first attempt after beating Queen of the South 4-0.

Brian Graham scored twice for the Staggies, with Ross Stewart and Josh Mullin also on target in Kirkwall.

County only required a point to ensure second-place Dundee United could not catch them but they guaranteed promotion and the Scottish Championship title in style.

Stewart headed them into the lead after 21 minutes from Mullin's corner, with Mullin also providing an assist from a short corner routine for Graham (51) to nod home and double their advantage.

Mullin got on the scoresheet himself three minutes later, the midfielder firing home left-footed from 20 yards out.

Graham then scored his second goal nine minutes from time to complete an emphatic victory that means Steven Ferguson and Stuart Kettlewell's side can be presented with the trophy in their final game of the season away to Falkirk on May 4.
