Match Preview: Queen’s Park v Montrose

Queen’s Park return to action today as the SWPL returns from international duty.

Montrose are the first of three games in 7 days for Iain Robinson’s side in what will be an important week for the club.

Queen’s Park come into Sunday’s tie after a terrific victory in Dundee last time out in which Rosie McQuillan’s goal of the month, Abby Callaghan’s equaliser and Sophie Rutherford’s last-gasp winner completed a 12-minute turnaround and secured all 3 points for Queen’s Park.

Montrose meanwhile travel to Ochilview Park after squandering a two goal lead against Spartans, eventually losing 3-2.

Montrose side 10th in SWPL-1, one place and six points ahead of Queen’s Park. Both sides are chasing Spartans who currently occupy the all important 9th position.

Before the game, Head Coach Iain Robinson said: “Last week’s win gave everyone a lift – there is no better way to win a game of football. It showed exactly what this team have in their belief and desire, but now it’s about building on that.

“We know how important this game will be for our season and the importance of a positive result, but I fully believe this group can achieve that on Sunday. Training has been sharp, the energy is there and every single person is motivated to have the same feeling at full-time that we felt after our match.”
