It took Spiders 25 minutes to take the lead. Weatherston ran with the ball up the right and went to the outside of Mo defender Jed Stirling. He made himself a yard of space near the 18 yard line before firing low into the bottom corner of the net despite the keeper getting 2 strong hands behind it. Trouten then fizzed a low drive just past the right hand post.
Spiders kept pressing and Paul Ronald came close as did Trouten as Queen's continued to dominate the play. The second period started in similiar fashion and Mick Dunlop somehow headed over Paul Paton's corner from about 2 yards. Tony Quinn then forced a save from the keeper with a long range effort.
Weatherston found himself one-on-one with Andy Reid twice in the space of five minutes and in both occasions he forced fine stops off the Montrose goalkeeper before he doubled the advantage. Defender and keeper got into a tangle with Davie on the edge on the box and the youngster's pace saw him come away with the ball, round them both and tap it into an empty net to spark bedlam on the sidelines.
Queen's finished the scoring on 88 minutes when Paul Paton's attempted cross from the left, near enough on the touchline, flew past everyone in the box and straight in at the back post to wrap up an emphatic victory which could help Queen's in their title push.
