QUEENS MAD PREDICTION


Queens will be without Rocco Quinn,Jamie Adams and David Hutton through injury also Bob Harris and Marc McCausland are suspended. Steve McKenna returns but it will be a patched up Queens side that takes the field at Kirkcaldy. Queens will be going all out to give themselves a chance of finishing second but it will be hard graft and I'm going for another scoring draw.
