Queen's Park v Saints Preview

Last updated : 12 July 2004 By Stuart Gillespie
There is, unsurprisingly, little team news ahead of tonight's match, although I'd expect everyone to be fit, and everyone to get a run out at some point. Mark Reilly, Mixu Paatelainen and John Baird will probably make their first appearances in Saints shirts, whilst Brian McGinty will have recovered from a knee operation. There might even be an appearance from Saints boss Gus MacPherson!

Queen's Park is where it all started going wrong for Saints last season. It was the first game of the new season, in the diddy cup, and we were 2-0 down at half time! Fortunately we came back and sneaked a 3-2 win. That was a highlight under the eejit that was John Coughlin!

Friendlies are about getting match practice and fitness, though a wee destruction of the amateurs would be nice after last season :-)
