Queens Gear Up For Final Home Game

Gordon Chisolm

Queens will be hoping to consolidate their 4th place in SFL 1 as they face a tough match against Dundee who look to have blown their chance of stepping up to the Premier League. A win for Queens could put the final nail in the Dees coffin so it could be a tense match.


Queens report no serious injury worries and Gordon Chisolm has a big pool of players to pick from including the now fit Lauchlan who featured in Wednesday night's win against Partick.

I'm going for a narrow Queens win which should set us up nicely for Dunfermline next week.
