Spiders, currently sit 9th in the league table and are without THREE centre backs as they take on the Gable Endies who are riding high in 4th place after a 1-0 victory over table topping East Fife at Links Park last week.
After heavy pre season spending funded by businessman Kenny Black, their are big expectations for this campaign as new manager David Roberston looks to guide them to promotion.
The signing of good quality lower league strikers in Peterhead's Scott Michie and Dumbarton's Andy Rodgers has made them a force to be reckoned with in and around the opposition penalty box while the capture of highly rated Elgin defender Stuart Cumming has made them harder to breach at the back.
Last season, Queen's found the Links Park hard to break down as they shared the spoils on two occasions. Montrose shocked Spiders by 3-0 at Hampden in December and in September a David Weatherston wonder goal secured a hard fought 1-0 win at Links.
