Queen's Mad Prediction

There are signs that McPherson is gradually organising this Queen's side into a tidy outfit and may test this Morton side in front of hopefully a large crowd.

I have a feeling that our season starts here and if we talke our chances we have can gain another three points which will lift us off the bottom of the league.
