THE ROAD AND THE MILES TO DUNDEE

Gary Wood back for Queens

Queens head for Dens Park tomorrow after the Scottish Cup break and must be confident of at least a point as they try and haul back the points deficit in favour of the Cleyholers. Dundee with their financial problems have had no alternative but to give their youngsters a chance and Queens will have to be on their guard. Bowey and O'Neill will be missing due to suspension but Wood

New Deal

along with Reid will be available. McLaughlan I believe will also be available for selection. The usual large Queens travelling contingent will descend on Dundee and the level of support recently has impressed manager McCall no end. It is reported that he is about to sign a two year deal with Queens which is tremendous news. I am hopeful of a good result on Saturday which should set us up nicely for the next run of home games.

FootyMad's prediction ...

FootyMad see this game edging towards a narrow win for the Dees, as the The Doonhamers have been none too clever on the road in recent matches. Home win

Dundee	Unbeaten in the last 3 home games. Unbeaten run of 7 matches.
Queen o.t.S.	Lost each of the previous 8 away matches. Not won in previous 15 away matches. Last drawn game 4 outings ago.
