Elgin, will for the first time, be full of confidence as well after they recorded their first victory of the season on Saturday. They defeated fellow strugglers East Stirlingshire 5-0 at Borough Briggs and will be on a high coming into this Hampden encounter.
The Arbroath win leaves us 4 points off 2nd place in the league but we do still sit currently in a disappointing 7th place, victory could see us rise as high as 3rd depending on other results.
Elgin, however, had a grand total of nil points prior to last weeks win over The Shire and are still 7 behind Shirey in 9th, they will see victory in Glasgow as vital in escaping that bottom spot.
We have met Elgin already this season back on the 12th of August when 9 man Queen's managed a fantastic 2-1 win at Borough Briggs, Mark Ferry and Steven Canning notched the goals with Fez and Richard Sinclair showen the red card by ref Alan Freeland.
