Anton Brady snatched Queen's Park a point to keep them above opponents Albion Rovers but the 1-1 draw did little for either sides' hopes of reaching the play-offs.
Ryan Wallace had already had a goal ruled out for offside and an effort cleared off the line when he opened the scoring after 21 minutes.
He controlled a poor clearance from Cameron Foy and lashed a powerful half-volley past goalkeeper Willie Muir.
Queen's Park responded and were unlucky not to equalise before the break when David Galt saw a low strike come back off a post after good work from Brady and Dario Zanatta.
Jamie McKernon was inches away from an equaliser for the visitors after 67 minutes and they did get the goal they deserved in the first minute of stoppage time.
McKernon played the ball to Brady and he cut in from the right to fire home a fierce left-foot strike.
