Queen o.t.S. are ready to welcome Ayr United to Palmerston Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 12 of the 29 previous games, with the The Doonhamers winning just 11.
The previous match played between the two at Palmerston Park was within the last three years, in August 2006, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in an Scottish Challenge Cup match.
