Match Preview

Speirs to give young Spiders a spin Queens Park include youth players Lawrence Shankland and Conor McVey as they host play-off contenders Elgin. The Spiders are without James Brough through work commitments with David Anderson and Tony Quinn ruled out through injury and Ricky Little seriously doubtful. Martin McBride and Ian Watt are available again to head coach Gardner Speirs, who said: "We have done well at home all season and don't want that to end now. "It is important to go into the play-offs with a bit of momentum behind us and Elgin will be thinking exactly the same so it should be an attacking game." Elgin are looking to banish unhappy memories of their last two visits to Hampden Park. The Black and Whites have skipper Paul Kaczan ruled out again with a combination of back and groin injuries with manager Ross Jack likely to give Daniel Moore, Lewis Halford and Ciaran McLean some much-needed game time. Jack said: "We usually enjoy going to Hampden but this season they put us out of the Scottish Cup there and also won 6-0 so it would be good to address some of that. "The challenge to the players that play in this one is an easy one and that is to play well enough to be selected for the first play-off game next Wednesday."
