It will however be a massive task by Chisolm's inconsistent Queens who continue to be plagued by injury and other problems. Striker O'connor will be a doubtful starter due to his dislike of the plastic surface but new signing Ryan McCann goes straiight into the squad.
Chisolm has had the full squad in for training today so the team will be well prepared although perhaps Accies will have too much strike power for the Doonhamers. As usual there will be no lack of support for Queens including three Travel Club buses making the short journey up the M74.
Queen o.t.S. face a trip to Hamilton Academical at New Douglas Park on Wednesday afternoon, hoping to improve upon an average previous return from this fixture. Of the 46 games played, The Doonhamers have recorded 14 wins, and Hamilton Ac. have come away with 18 victories.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was earlier this season, the Accies carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a Scottish Division One match.
