SPL strugglers Dundee came from behind to secure their first win under John Brown - and their first in four months - with a 2-1 victory over St Mirren.
The Dens Park outfit looked set for their 20th defeat of the campaign when Dougie Imrie, on his return to Danny Lennon's starting 11, put the visitors ahead with a shot from close range before the break.
The Saints had a chance to increase their lead soon after, Lewis Guy cutting inside the box and delivering a powerful right-footed strike which was superbly denied by Rab Douglas at full stretch.
Douglas pulled off another outstanding save five minutes before the break when he reacted well to claw away a goal-bound header from Sam Parkin.
While the visitors dominated the first period, Brown's men hit back after the break and equalised on 67 minutes as ex-Saints striker John Baird's firm, low strike from 20 yards arrowed into the bottom corner.
The goal invigorated the home side and they deservedly went ahead 10 minutes later when Jim McAlister netted from close range after Nicky Riley had knocked down a cross from Gary Harkins.
The home side survived a few nervy moments to secure their first win since 17 November, and just their fourth league victory of the season, while putting a major dent in Saints' hopes of a top-six finish.
The visitors had the ball in the back of the net in the 10th minute when a 40-yard strike by Martin Rowlands was only parried by Bartosz Bialkowski, but Charlie MacDonald was in an offside position when he tucked in the rebound.
County had barely threatened before they opened the scoring in the 31st minute, as Magpies skipper Neal Bishop curled a lovely finish past Jamie Jones.
The O's almost hit back two minutes later when Jimmy Smith found space inside the County box and cracked a well-struck shot against the bar from 12 yards out.
They found their leveller in the 66th minute when Dean Leacock brought down MacDonald in the box and substitute Kevin Lisbie converted from the spot for his 11th of the season.
