Likely Derek Lyles last game for our club and our last home game of the season . Let's turn up - if you can - and give the lads our backing . Some of these players wont be back here again so let's appreciate their efforts. Be great to see vocal backing for the Tan Man. Dundee United have hit form recently and will be right up for this as they build momentum for the play offs.

Hopefully Del will play at Brechin too. Great night at Ibrox last night at Lyle's testimonial dinner. I had Brownlie Burns Clark Higgins Russell and Paton at my table. I was also speaking to Fordyce Mercer Jacobs Dobbie Murray Thomas and Stirling.

What should happen on Saturday is for us to play 4-4-2 with Dobbie and Lyle up front and Del, Captain for the day, leading the team out on what will be his last appearance at Palmerston for us and then subbed with about 10/15 to go to receive the recognition he so richly deserves.
That's what I - and most fans I am sure - would love to see but I don't expect Naysmith will allow us that pleasure.
After the miserable season, especially our dire home performances, we have had we surely deserve to have something to celebrate even though it means a true legend leaving the Club.
United are hitting form at the wrong time for us but I hope we can stay in the game to maintain a positive atmosphere for Del's last home appearance.
I remember well Jimmy Robertson's last home game for us which went horribly wrong.
He was Captain for the day and we were well and truly thrashed 7-0 by Alloa.
It was hard going but I managed to put the result to one side and stay on until JR had left the pitch.
I hope there is no repeat of that on Saturday but if there is I hope the majority overcome their disappointment and stay on to ackmowledge Del's superb contribution to Queen of the South over the years.
I see in today’s Standard Del wants to continue playing next season after his Queens contract is up.
