Queens Press The Self Destruct Button

Last updated : 27 July 2014 By Queens MAD

C:WindowsTempphp5881.tmpIt took an extra-time goal from debutant David Robertson to edge a seven-goal thriller Livingston's way in the Petrofac Training Cup

Queens raced to a two-goal lead after Andrew Dowie's header was followed by Iain Russell's close-range strike.

Craig Sives nodded home to give Livi hope and they levelled through Daniel Mullen's right-footed effort.

The visitors struck first in extra time as Myles Hippolyte netted but they were pegged back by Michael Paton's shot before Robertson scored from six yards.

Even with a depleted team Queens should have won as they were 2-0 up and looking comfortable.

They also finished with 10 men with Paton having a ham string problem.

Queens problems started before the kick-off with Kerr,Baird,Burns McKenna and Mitchell declared unfit. Higgins was also suspended so the manager had a selection headache!
