Match Preview
Morton duo back Morton midfielders Carlo Monti and Michael Tidser return from suspension to face Queen of the South. The duo are back in contention but may find that they do not make the starting XI as Cappielow manager Allan Moore has a full squad to pick from. Moore said: "I have the selection headache that every manager dreams about. "We are in good form and have everyone available so the guys that have dropped out may just find that they cannot just drop back in. Hopefully that will lead to even better performances as the players know that if their standards drop they will be out of the team. "As well as playing better we have been dogged recently in terms of gaining points and we will need that attribute in abundance against a good Queen of the South side." Queen of the South will again be without Bob Harris and David Lilley. The midweek postponement of the game with Ross County has left the pair to face another frustrating 90 minutes as they see out the final game of their suspensions. To add to manager Kenny Brannigan's troubles he has lost midfielder Paul Burns to a groin problem and despite the player wanting to play Brannigan has said no. On a more positive note midfielder Stephen McKenna has survived an injury scare and is included in the Palmerston squad. The Dumfries boss explained: "Paul is a wee tiger and wanted to give it a go but he could end up doing himself more damage so we told him to leave it. Morton are strong just now but we are going there to win."

Match Report
Weatherston hat-trick stuns Morton David Weatherston netted a hat-trick as Queen of the South sailed to a comfortable 4-0 victory over mid-table opponents Morton. William McLaren opened the scoring from the penalty spot after just two minutes following Morton midfielder Kevin McKinlay's foul on Derek Holmes. Weatherston doubled his side's advantage in the 32nd minute with a good finish from Allan Johnston's neat pass, and then netted his second of the afternoon in the 64th minute. Rocco Quinn played the ball through and Weatherston calmly slid the ball into the bottom left corner from 12-yards. Weatherston completed his hat-trick in the 76th minute with a fine strike from the edge of the 18-yard box.
