Morton visit Palmerston Park today for a game against QoS.
These two have met once already this season. In the League Cup group stage they played to a 3 - 3 draw, but Morton won the shootout. That was the closest thing to a draw so far this season for Morton, who either win big or lose big.
Morton might win big today. QoS have scored only once in league play this season, whereas Morton have scored nine times. However, Morton have the most goals allowed (12) while QoS are tied with Arbroath for fewest (3).
The oldest player on the Queen of the South roster is captain Stephen Dobbie, 36.
