Comments	Match Report Report by Ewing Grahame for the Daily Record. Queen's Park 1 Ross County 1 Allow me to take you back a few years to one of the great TV adverts of all time. Picture the scene--a group of workman are at Hampden. It's their lunch break and, being heterosexual, they decide to have a kick-about. It climaxes with one of them (wearing a Scotland top, naturally) scoring a sensational goal. He sinks to his knees, fantasising about that last-minute winner against England--only to have his moment ruined by the giggles of some passing women. At Hampden on Saturday, Queen's Park midfielder Roddie Fraser discovered exactly how that guy felt...without the embarrassing finale. The Spiders man scored a sensational equaliser from 25 yards to notch his first senior goal. Then he sank to his knees as if he had just hit a World Cup winner. Afterwards, the 28-year-old grinned: "This is my first season in the top rank and it's so long since I last scored I had forgotten how to celebrate. "I think my last goal was for Arthurlie before I left them for Renfrew. "I honestly thought my chance of playing at this level had gone, until Hugh McCann came in for me. "Coming here to get this attention. Andy Warhol said everyone is famous for 15 minutes--mind you, we'd be better off if he was playing for our team. "I sometimes get lost in the dressing room here because it's so big. It certainly a step up from going to Port Glasgow every couple of weeks." Fraser even gave up his job to satisfy his footballing ambitions--despite the fact that he's never been paid a penny for them. He said: "I'm now a labourer at Yarrow's shipyards. I used to be a carpet fitter but I gave that up because it was hurting my knees. My wife wasn't too pleased." Fraser's equaliser was the least Queen's deserved for a spirited second half fight back. Ross County had dominated the first half and taken an early lead through Jamie McPherson, who headed home a Stuart Golabek corner. The point was scant reward for County's full-back, Chris Somerville, who had got out of bed at 4.30 on Saturday morning. He lives in Golspie and had to travel further than the rest of the side. He moaned: "The travelling is tiring, especially in the winter months. "I deliver milk and meat, which is why I have to get up so early." He said he didn't get back home until around nine o'clock on Saturday night and although he was working yesterday he didn't have to start until 10am--which to him counted as a long lie Somerville admitted he was disappointed that County didn't take all three points from the game. He Groaned: "We could have been two or three goals up by half time, but that's been the case for a good few weeks how. "We don't take our chances, end up sitting on a lead and then we get punished." County boss Bobby Wilson agreed and said: "We stopped making passes and whenever that happens we become a bad side." Queen's boss McCann claimed: "We had a couple of late call-offs--one because Ian Maxwell injured himself while fooling about in the snow during training--and that meant we didn't settle quickly enough. "We gave ourselves a mountain to climb by giving away a silly goal, but at the end I'm disappointed that we didn't take all three points." Even that couldn't take the smile off Big Robbie's face. I expect he's still grinning this morning as he relives his marvellous Hampden score. But his poor knees--probably just like being a carpet fitter again.
