Recent Form : Both teams have been going well in the League of late, particularly for 'Rovers after their 6-0 demolition of East Stirlingshire last saturday. However, of course, that often counts for little in a Cup tie, especially nowadays when games between these two sides are the closest they get to derby matches. Previous Scottish Cup encounters have been pretty even with Queen's just having the edge thanks to a 2-1 victory the last time the teams met at Hampden in this competition; goals from Kenny Brannigan and George Crooks being enough to take Queen's through.

Likely Outcome : Unlike the recent game at Coatbridge, this is likely to be a very even affair and it could well go to a replay with 1-1 being the most likely result.
