History of the Falkirk v Queen of the South fixture
Queen of the South face a trip to Falkirk at The Falkirk Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Doonhamers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 27 and win only 8 of the 45 games.

Queens Mad Predition ...
The Bairns are the form team at the moment and this will be a real test for a Queens side who will have Kevin Smith back after suspension.
Queen's managher McPherson also reports that six of his players have niggling injuries so he will delay his team selection.
We can't honestly see Queens getting anything out of this game and see a heavy defeat imminent.
