Queen’s Park host Partick Thistle tomorrow night at Hampden Park on League duty for the first time since the New Year game of 2001.
Since then, the teams have only played each other once at the National Stadium, and what a game that was, as Thistle scored twice in injury time in August 2012 to turn a 4-3 defeat into a Challenge Cup win.
The Spiders can of course claim two home victories over the Firhill men last season however they were secured at Stenhousemuir’s Ochilview.
It is the second meeting of the season and Queen’s Head Coach Robin Veldman spoke to QPTV about his recent trip to Thistle’s Maryhill ground and his first run of Championship games at the club.
