JR in most of these games that you mention Queens we very much overwhelming underdogs in these encounters where only only most blinded fans would have expected us to get close to winning so to say that they Queens fell flat on their faces is a bit harsh. Expectation is one thing reality is another. I do recall in I think 1977 Queens played Celtic at Parkhead in a League cup midweek game and although beaten 5-1 they came away with tremendous credit and were in fact applauded off the pitch by the Celtic support. When we equalised through Peter Dickson me and my mates who were in the main stand jumped up surrounded by the Celtic support who fortunately found our celebration amusing. I think this could have been one of Dalglish's last games for Celtic before his move to Liverpool.
Perhaps we should highlight the games when Queens were responsible for major cup upsets so I will start with another game around the same time when we got a result away to the mighty Hibs which I think was also in the League cup when the Queens support were chased from the ground at the end of this with the police standing by watching. Another I can quickly think of and being a bit more recent was the Scottish cup game when we knocked out the defending holders St Johnstone. So what games can you recall where Queens did come up trumps against clearly better opposition?
Re the Rangers game . We were not favs but were fancied to give them a better game than 5-0. The games , mostly league , where we haven't turned up have been too numerous to mention. Anyway, not saying there will be a big attendance today but we are in last chance saloon and Queens have to.perform. Frankly , if we cant beat Montrose at home we deserve to go into League 1.
Great to see the passion from the crowd yesterday. Everybody feeling a bit better about themselves now. One good win and our tails are up again. Yesterday couldn't have went any better . Dobbie breaks the goals record and also gets plenty of rest time for Wednedsay with his substitution. Raith will be a far harder nut to crack and we cant afford another slack first leg like the Montrose one. No reason why we cant go through though with the commitment shown yesterday.
