Saints v Queen of the South Preview

It won't be easy though as QOS themselves are coming off the back of giving a team in the relegation zone a doing, hammering Partick Thistle 3-1 at home last weekened. David McNiven seems to be on form at the moment and is a player I'd have loved to see Saints sign last summer after his impressive season with Leigh RMI. Steve Bowey and Brian McLaughlin, who seems to look smaller every time he visits Love Street, have caused us problems in the past and will no doubt manage to do the same tomorrow.

Saints have just the one injury problem for tomorrow, with long term injury victim Mixu Paatelainen still missing. Kevin McGowne is fit but the game may be just too soon for him, whilst Laurie Ellis has shrugged off a knock and will play. John O'Neill comes back into the squad after serving his suspension and will be hopeful of a few goals against his former club.

After last week's destruction of Raith Rovers it's unlikely the starting lineup will change, although it would be good to see the likes of David McKenna and Scott Gemmill on the bench. If we can start the game like we did against Raith last weekend we shouldn't have any problems, but i see this one being a score draw.
