Doonhamers Confident
There could be an upset on the cards if East Fife get fired up by comments from Kenny Brannigan Queen of the South's Alba Challenge Cup game with East Fife will see home captain David Lilley back following suspension but the experienced midfield pair of Rocco Quinn and Ryan McGuffie are out through injury with youngster Daniel Carmichael rated as a doubt. Doonhamer manager Kenny Brannigan said: "It will not be easy as East Fife are a really good team going forward as you saw last week when they scored six times. We will have to be at our best in that area, so it is good news that David Lilley can play. We are at home against a team from a division below us so we should be confident but we will need to go about our business properly to progress.'' East Fife are in good shape for the trip to Dumfries and manager Steve Crawford has a full squad to choose from with only long term injured defender Stevie Campbell unavailable. Crawford has identified Palmerston winger Willie McLaren as the man to watch for his side if they want to progress. He said: "I went to watch Queen of the South recently at Cowdenbeath and Willie McLaren showed that he is more than a decent player. He created chances throughout and was unselfish with the ball at the right times so I have to work out a way to stop him. In saying that they have a lot of good players all over the pitch so it is a difficult tie for us.''
