QUEENS DUE A WIN AGAINST THE BULLY WEE

Ian McCall

Queens must get back to winning ways after their recent home games where they have failed to find the net despite dominating the opposition. Their failure in front of goal has been disappointing for the fans who have given the players tremendous backing in recent weeks. Ian McCall's decision to place his immediate future with Queens is tremendous news and the players must respond on the field. Andy Thomson is the only doubt for tomorrow's match and if he doesn't make it then perhaps Michael Mullen may get his chance in the starting eleven. Queens sooner or later will begin to put away some of those chances again and I'm taking them for a win tomorrow.
