Dunfermline and Morton are the only teams to have taken full points from Palmerston Park this season. Apart from that, Rangers are the only side to win there this term when Naismith and Novo did the damage.
Queen of the South lost their manager Gordon Chisholm to Dundee last Sunday but then they travelled to Dens Park on Tuesday and even after going a goal and a man down, fought back to take a point. The same evening the Pars defeat at the hands of Partick Thistle was their first in seven games.
