Recent Form : Despite the disappointment of last Saturday's defeat at home to Elgin City, Queen's played some good football and continued to attempt a passing game in the midweek win over Gretna in the Challenge Cup. For their part, Montrose achieved a credible 1-1 draw away to East Stirlingshire a week ago, but that is hardly the kind of result which will leave The Spiders quaking in their boots as they step onto the field tomorrow afternoon.
       
Likely Outcome : Make no mistake, this will be a difficult game, but Queen's have a confidence about them which was lacking at this stage of last season. A 2-1 victory is certainly not beyond them, and would herald the beginning of a resurgence in their fortunes.
