Reserves Lose on Penalties at Killie

The Reserves were in Reserve League Cup action at Rugby Park today and were a little unfortunate to end up losing 4-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw at their premiership opponents. Former Queens loanees Curtis Lyle, Iain Wilson and Dom Thomas were all playing for Killie, along with new signing Simeon Jackson.

Queens took the lead early in the second half when Connor Murray scored from the spot after Dom McMahon was fouled by Connor Johnson but Killie equalised 20 mins from time when Kyle Connell jumped highest to head home Olly McDonald's free kick.

The Reserve Cup has a penalty shoot out for a bonus point and it was the home side who took it with a 4-3 win on penalties. Abdul Osman, Connor Murray and Andy McCarthy all scored for us but Curtis Lyle saved kicks from Gary Oliver and Darren Lyon.

QoS Team:
C Burns, D Lyon, E Gourlay, C Semple, A Vezza, B Luissint, A Osman, C Murray, D McMahon, A McCarthy, G Oliver

Kilmarnock team:
Lyle, Barlow, Hendrie, Johnson, Lynch, Brindley, McDonald, Wilson, Jackson, St Clair, Thomas

Queens Upset Leaders

Queens produced an absolutely faultless display this afternoon which saw them crush league leaders Dundee United as they scored four goals without reply in what was clearly their best performance of the season to date. Two goals in each half along with several missed opportunities saw Queens record back-to-back league wins for the first time this season as the visitors had no ideas of how to stop the Queens domination. VIPs today Following the victory at Firhill a fortnight ago, Queens named the same starting eleven, and lining up in a 4-1-3-2 formation there was a fluidity about the te ...

Queens Get Past A Jaggy Test

Allan Johnston named an unchanged starting XI from last Friday?s 1-1 draw with Dundee, continuing with Dan Pybus on the right and Michael Paton through the middle. New signing Abdul Osman was amongst the subs, replacing youngster Ross Irving on the bench. It was Ian McCall?s first match at Firhill since re-joining the Jags, and the 2,651 strong home support were full of a hope for a second consecutive victory. Click here for the match photo gallery.

Wood Carving Unveiling

On Saturday at 1pm we will be unveiling a wood carving statue of three club legends. The statue will be located just outside the entrance to the QoS Arena and will honour the achievements of club legends, Allan Ball, Billy Houliston and Stephen Dobbie.

Allan Ball played more games for Queen of the South than any other player in the club’s history. In a career at QoS lasting from the early 60s to the early 80s, Ball played in goal for QoS’ first team on 819 occasions (731 games were league and cup, the rest were challenge games and testimonials). As well as being a key member of the promotion-winning team of 1981, 'Bally' also enjoyed many great personal moments in a career with QoS that continued well beyond the day he hung up his gloves. He served as an Honorary Director of the club from December 2001 right up to his death in July 2018.

Billy Houliston is the only Queen of the South player to have gained full international recognition with Scotland. As well as his three full caps he was capped nine times in all at different levels for Scotland scoring eight goals. A rampaging centre forward, Houliston was never on a losing international side. Billy went on to become a director of the club in 1957 and served up to 1994, spending almost 37 years on the Board, including a spell as Chairman in the early 1960's. His son Keith, would also go on to serve the club as both a player and a Director.

Stephen Dobbie is synonymous with the modern era of Queen of the South. First joining the club in January 2007, he scored 55 goals in his first two and a half years before his exploits earned a move to English Championship side Swansea City. Over the next 9 years he four times reached the English Championship playoff final, earning promotion with three different clubs (Blackpool, Swansea City and Crystal Palace) and playing in the English Premiership. Fulfilling a vow he made on his departure in 2009, 'Dobs' returned to the club in 2016 to finish his playing career here. Players making such promises is not that unusual, actually doing so is much rarer. He was appointed Club Captain by Gary Naysmith in 2018. In just over 3 years he has added a further 99 club goals to his total and stands as the 2nd highest scorer in club history with 154. He also broke a club single season scoring record which had stood for over 80 years when, at the age of 36, he struck 43 times last season, and did so despite missing almost two months of the season with hamstring injuries!
