We welcomed Ayr United to Palmerston this evening in the CAS league. 

The visitors took the lead after eleven minutes but Kylan Hunter levelled with just under half an hour played.  Ayr restored their advantage seven minutes before the break to give them a two-one lead at the interval.

Half Time: Queens 1 Ayr 2

Thirteen minutes after the restart the Honest Men added a third. But Queens fought back and Jordan Allan reduced the deficit with twenty minutes to go only for  Ayr to score again and round off the scoring four minutes from time to claim the win.

Full Time: Queens 2 Ayr 4

Coach Eddie Warwick said “We are disappointed with the cheap goals that we gave away. We seem to be making basic errors at the moment and getting punished for them.   We can’t fault the effort and application of the players but we are shooting ourselves in the foot far too often and we need to learn from the mistakes.”

The match kicks off at 7.30pm and entry is pay at the gate and costs £3 with under 16s free.

Stenhousemuir were the visitors to Palmerston for the second of our back-to-back home games. Manager, Peter Murphy had everyone available for selection and made three changes from the side that faced Peterhead. Benji Luissint returned from his enforced lay-off along with Brennan Dickenson and Kurtis Guthrie. Liam Smith and Ben Johnstone both dropped to the bench and Jack Stott who was in the original line-up felt his hamstring in the warm-up and pulled out, resulting in Nicky Clark keeping his place in the starting eleven. After a disappointing performance last week, Queens made a lively star ...

We are aware of the appalling incident that happened after our game with Stenhousemuir yesterday when a brick was thrown at a visiting supporter’s bus window.

As a club we cannot and will not tolerate such idiotic and irresponsible behavior. While it took place away from the stadium, the juveniles involved were videoed wearing our colours. We can’t allow these individuals to tarnish the reputation of Queen of the South FC and our genuine supporters. There is no place within our club or society for such dangerous behavior and once those responsible have been identified we will be issuing banning orders to keep them away.

We have invested a lot of time working with young supporters as we know they are the life blood and future of the club so we are extremely disappointed and angry that this one incident has set that process back.

Everyone is entitled to attend matches safely and with respect. We would like to apologise to Stenhousemuir FC and to their supporters who were caught up in the mindless incident and are grateful that no one was injured.

The video is in the hands of Police Scotland.

Queens 17s travelled to Alloa this evening (Friday) for their third game in eight days. 

Both teams struggled to get to grips with the game early on but Lewis White latched onto a slack pass from the home defender to open the scoring and give Queens the lead. Alloa soon equalised from a corner to make it one all at the break.

The second half was better and Queens upped their quality both in and out of possession. They deservedly took the lead through top goalscorer William Salfenmoser, as he headed home a White cross following a strong run from Logan McKenzie. 

Queens kept up the pressure and they rounded off the scoring when White's corner found itself in the back of the net despite a number of players on the goal line. 

Full Time: Alloa 1 Queens 3

Coach Ross Newlands said “It was a poor first half but the players can be proud of their second half performance. It was another good win on the road in what’s been a tough run of games for the boys.”

We have the second of our back-to-back home games tomorrow as we welcome Stenhousemuir to Palmerston.

The first two games of the season between the sides ending all square, a goal-less draw at Ochilview in August was followed by a one-all draw at Palmerston in November, when the visitors scored late to take a share of the points. However, in our last meeting, it was Stenhousemuir who secured the three points with a two-nil win on their own patch in our first game of 2026.

Gary Naysmith’s sides win over Hamilton in midweek moved them ten points clear of ourselves joint top of the table behind leaders Inverness on goal difference.

Ahead of the match, Manager Peter Murphy said “The last three weeks have been poor and we need to turn things around quickly. We are heading into the last quarter of the campaign and with nine games left there is still the opportunity for us to stay in the play-offs but we need to get back to being the side that we were during our positive run.

Stenhousemuir continue to pick up results and have proved over the past couple of seasons that they are a good side. Gary Naysmith has them well drilled and they deserve to be where they are. They’re consistent and are playing with confidence. We will need to be better and show a lot more fight than we did last week as we try to get back on track.”
