Queen of the South lost six matches in a row following their 6-1 home win over Livingston at the beginning of October.  Their terrible run was halted with a goalless draw at McDiarmid Park on Saturday. At home Queens were unbeaten in their first six league matches at Palmerston but have lost to Morton and Clyde in the last two games there.

Dunfermline are unbeaten away from home since the opening day of the season and it would be nice to see that continue. The win at Livingston was particularly pleasing and lets hope there`s smiles in the bus that comes back up the M74 on Saturday night.

Last Time Out

DUNFERMLINE (v Morton): Paul Gallacher; Greg Ross (Nick Phinn 78),  Scott Thomson, Greg Shields (Paul Willis 84), Austin McCann; Calum Woods, Steven Bell, Stephen Glass (c), Alex Burke (Graeme Holmes 55); Graham Bayne, Andy Kirk
SUBS NOT USED: Callum Reidford, Stuart Dearden.

QUEEN OF THE SOUTH (v St Johnstone): Cameron Bell; Craig Barr, Neil MacFarlane, Andy Aitken, Jim Thomson, Jamie McQuilken, Paul Burns, Steven Tosh, Shaun O`Connor (David Weatherston 45), Stephen Simmons, Stewart Kean.
SUBS NOT USED: Stephen Dobbie, Scott Robertson, Willie Kinniburgh, Bryn Halliwell

Scott Wilson has still to serve the final of his two match suspensions. With Scottish Cup weekends and postponements Scott will have been out for over a month before he can return - his last match was on 15th November at Livingston. After sustaining injury in Tuesday`s reserve match Callum Reidford is doubtful as back up keeper.

QOS now have former par Stephen Simmons in their line up so he should get a rousing welcome from the travelling support.

Referee will be Craig Thomson.

C`mon Ye Pars!
