Preview Queen of the South
Thursday, 13th Mar 2008Queen of the South have not lost a league match at home this year and will be cock a hoop after Saturday`s defeat of Dundee to reach the semi final of the Scottish Cup for the first time in 58 years.
When Stephen Kenny`s side left Dumfries back at the start of October with a 1-0 win, the team bus was rewarded with pizzas for the trip home. Alas that was the last taste of victory until QOS came to East End Park on Christmas Saturday. The win in October was secured by a 90th minute penalty save by Paul Gallacher and the Doonhamers made the Fifers fight all the way to grab the points.
