History of the Queen of the South v St. Johnstone fixture

Queen o.t.S. prepare to entertain St. Johnstone at Palmerston Park on Saturday evening, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. Only 4 wins have been recorded in the 22 games, with 9 ending in defeat.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Palmerston Park was less than a year ago, in February 2003, with St Johnstone inflicting a narrow 1-2 defeat upon the The Doonhamers in a Scottish Division One match.
