Queens MAD prediction - The Bairns will be eager to kick-start their season so this will be another tough one for Queens who have been scoring freely recently albeit against lower league opposition. I think we may however have to settle for a share of the points.
Queen's manager has a strong squad to pick from with Quinn back from injury.
