Philippe Clement was seeking a response from his Gers side, who failed to win each of their previous three Scottish Premiership matches, including a 3-2 defeat at Ross County and a drab goalless stalemate with Dundee on Wednesday.
Goals from Wes Burns, Conor Chaplin and Freddie Ladapo saw Town to a 3-0 victory over Peterborough, their first ever league success at London Road. Burns gave Town, who remain second, now needing five points for promotion, the lead in the 17th minute, Chaplin added the second on 57 and Ladapo made it three with eight minutes left on the clock.
