The U19s have their first game of 2026 this Tuesday (6th Jan).

While the first team are at Raith in the KDM Evolution Trophy, the Under 19s are in action at Palmerston when they welcome Alloa Athletic in the CAS Cup.

The match kicks off at 1945 and entry will be pay at the gate, £3 per head with under 16s free.

After a positive end to 2025, Queens made the trip to fellow promotion chasers, Stenhousemuir for the first game of 2026. With leaders Inverness idol due to the weather, both sides knew that a victory would see them start the year at the top of the table. Having beaten Hamilton convincingly last weekend, it was no surprise that Manager, Peter Murphy stuck with the same starting eleven at Ochilview. The winter sun was out but it was bitterly cold and the match was one of two that survived the freezing conditions in league one. The first real chance of the game came after nine minutes when a ...

Now that the transfer window has opened, we can confirm that Zander Mackenzie’s loan deal has been extended until the end of the season.

The 20-year-old who joined from Partick Thistle in September has made 12 starts for us since he arrived and has shown his versatility. As well as playing in midfield, he moved to cover the right-back position when Mikey Hewitt was sidelined through injury.

Manager Peter Murphy said “Zander has been a key player for us during the past few months so we are delighted to have been able to hang onto him for the rest of the season. He is a strong player who can play in different positions which gives us options.”

We are back on the road tomorrow for our first match of 2026 when we head to Ochilview to take on Stenhousemuir in league one.

Both sides are in good form and sit second and third in the table on 31 points after 19 games. The hosts are one position better off with just one goal separating the two teams.

The two games so far this season have ended all square. A goal-less draw at Ochilview back in August was followed by a one all draw at Palmerston in November. Jack Stott had given us a half time lead and we looked on course for a win until Ross Taylor snatched a point with the last kick of the game.

Ahead of the game, Manager Peter Murphy said “We have got ourselves into a good position but we have to remain focused because we know if we don’t then things can turn quickly in a tight league. This weekend we face a well organized and effect side who keep picking up results. They’re a hard side to beat, Gary Naysmith is shrewd in the way he sets up his side so it will be up to us to break them down. We just need to continue to apply ourselves in the same way that we have recently.”

Hamilton Accies were the visitors to Palmerston as we got the second half of the season underway and rounded off our fixtures for 2025. Manager Peter Murphy made one change to the starting eleven, with Mikey Hewitt returning to the side and Zander Mackenzie dropping to the bench. It was an open and even start to the game with both sides having a go but neither making the keepers work. But Queens took the lead after twelve minutes when Taylor Charters made a great run and won a corner, as Kai Kennedy floated it into the box, Matty Douglas was there to head past Jamie Smith. The goal gave the ...
