Our Premier Sports league cup games continue tomorrow when we welcome Aberdeen to Palmerston.
The Dons currently sit second in Group A behind Queens Park on goal-difference but have maximum points from their two games so far. A two-nil away win over Brora Rangers in their opening game was followed by a two-one home win over The Spiders at the weekend.
Our three-nil win at Brora on Saturday sees us third in the table on four points after our opening two matches.
Looking forward to the game, Manager Nicky Clark said “They are the top seeds in our group so I expect this to be our toughest match so far. Playing a Premier league side at home is a really good test for us. We’ve done our preparations properly and the boys are focused and ready for the challenge. With the game live on television it’s a good chance for us to go and express ourselves.”

Car parking will be available to all spectators within the Queen of the South Arena car park on a first come first served basis.
Supporters’ buses/minibuses should drop off their passengers in Terregles St/King Street and thereafter park on College Mains Road just off the roundabout with the A76 on the town bypass (adjacent to Curry’s/PC World, as the other side at Aldi is the access road to the ambulance depot and is extremely busy). Pick up should be the same location as drop off. Supporters’ buses including minibuses will not be allowed to park in the Arena car park.
Those travelling should check Traffic Scotland website at http://trafficscotland.org/index.aspx for confirmation of any road closures or delays.
The catering outlets within the supporter’s areas of the ground will be open for use. Fans should note that these kiosks are cash only. If you are looking for catering before entering the ground, The Queen of the South café within the Arena will be open and will have a range of food/snacks on offer and will accept card. Unfortunately, due to the ongoing roof replacement the lounge bar under the Thompson’s Solicitors stand will NOT be open for this match.
For safety reasons, QOS have adopted a robust and thorough search policy for spectators entering the ground to ensure that ground rules and regulations are strictly adhered to, especially in relation to pyrotechnic devices and controlled containers. We would like to remind supporters that letting off smoke devices/ pyrotechnics is a criminal offence, and anyone found doing so will be referred to Police Scotland. Not only is it against the law, it is also extremely dangerous and a health hazard to other spectators. No bottles or cans will be permitted through the gates, so anyone bring juice should bring cartons. All bags will be searched and spectators presenting themselves for entry may also be subject to search. Spectators who refuse to be searched by stewards will be denied entry to the ground.
Palmerston Park is a non-smoking venue; this includes e cigarettes and other such devices. Stewards are empowered to eject spectators who disobey these rules. No persons will be admitted to the ground who are deemed to be under the influence of alcohol.
The club shop located in the Arena will be open until kick off where you can purchase our club merchandise.
Tomorrow’s match which is live on Premier Sports kicks off at 7.45pm
