Queen of South vs Stirling preview - Five out for Queens
Posted Saturday, March 26, 2011 by PA
Queen of the South's injury woes have continued ahead of the visit of Stirling.
Manager Kenny Brannigan is expecting to be without Bob Harris, Derek Holmes, Rocco Quinn and Allan Johnston with goalkeeper David Hutton restricted to a substitute role because of a groin problem.
Brannigan said: "I will be forced to bring in untried kids again and it is far from an ideal situation. The players and I are desperate to win games but the size of our squad is making it really difficult to do so.
"The players have done a great job for me all season and we will just need to get them to roll up their sleeves and get on with it again.
"I am sure three points against Stirling will make everyone feel a lot better."
Stirling can include defender Martyn Corrigan in the squad.
The defender was sent off against Dunfermline last weekend but lodged a successful appeal and is available.
Manager Jocky Scott has also been boosted with Michael Doyle and Paul McHale being available after bans.
Injured goalkeeper Callum Reidford remains out along with defenders Greig MacDonald and Jonathan Brown.
Scott said: "We have gone close in games but have just not done enough but we will keep on trying.
"Everyone at the club would get a massive lift by winning three points and hopefully we can do that at Palmerston."
