Match Preview v Ross County - 19th July 2025

We are at Palmerston again tomorrow for the second of our back-to-back home games in Group B of the Premier Sports Cup.

After our victory over Edinburgh City on Tuesday night we welcome Championship side Ross County. County were without a game midweek but opened their campaign along the road at Stranraer last weekend. The game ended one all after 90 minutes with the Blues claiming the extra point with a penalty shoot-out victory.

 

Ahead of the game tomorrow, Manager Peter Murphy said “It was a good performance against Edinburgh and we are delighted to have opened with a win. I am expecting a demanding a physical game this weekend as I think Ross County will be a different animal. They will be out to prove that last weekend at Stranraer wasn’t their best performance.”

“With so many games in such a short space of time, for us it’s been about helping the players recover from Tuesday so that we are prepared and at our best against a strong side who are the top seeds in our group.”

Jon Connolly

It’s with regret that we announce the departure of goal-keeping coach Jon Connolly.

Not only was he an important part of the coaching team he was hugely popular with the fans and got involved in fundraising ventures to raise money for Junior Blue season tickets.

Match Preview v Edinburgh City - 15th July

We get our 2025/26 campaign underway tomorrow night when we welcome Edinburgh City to Palmerston. It’s the first of back-to-back home games in Group B of the Premier Sports Cup.

Although we didn’t have a game at the weekend, the other sides in our section were in action, Partick Thistle opened with a 4-1 win over City, while Stranraer and Ross Country drew one all, with the Blues going on to take a bonus point from the penalty shoot-out.

 

Ahead of the game tomorrow, Manager Peter Murphy said “We are all looking forward to getting started. The players all returned with a good level of fitness and we’ve had a good pre-season but those games are all about working on things and don’t compare to competitive fixtures. Looking at the group a lot of people see it as a good opportunity for us to get through but they are all strong teams. Edinburgh City have kept most of their squad from last season together, Stranraer and Partick Thistle had good results in their opening games and Ross County are the top seeds in the group so anything can happen.”

“With four games in a short space of time it can take its toll so we just need to try to keep everybody fit, especially as we are operating with a smaller squad, but this is an opportunity for the younger players to be involved which is good for the future.”

We are delighted to welcome Stephen Richards and Thomas King to the team here at Palmerston. Both will work in collaboration to fulfil the role of Disability Access Officer. 

Stephen Richards-

'Originally from Northamptonshire, I moved to Dumfries and Galloway in 1983 and settled in Dumfries in 1988. I’ve followed Queen of the South since then. As someone who has been disabled for over 35 years, I’m very aware of the challenges disabled fans can face when accessing football. My aim is to work closely with the club and fellow supporters to improve the matchday experience for disabled fans at Palmerston.'

Thomas King- 

I am proud to become one of the new Disability Access Officers for Queen of the South for the 25/26 season. Having grown up not far from Palmerston and having many happy memries of the club from a young age, I am honoured to have this chance to give something back. 

Having worked with disabled people in past jobs and now  being disabled myself I will try to bring my knowledge of both sides to the role. I look forward to working closey with Stephen and Dan to try and improve the match day experience for our disabled fan base, picking up from where Keith Thom left off. Keith was a huge part of the QUeen of the South family and will be a hard act to follow.
