Chis: No more drama Queens; Airdrie v QOS.

QUEEN OF THE SOUTH boss Gordon Chisholm is hoping for a win at Airdrie today - without the drama that went with last week's 1-1 draw at home to Raith Rovers.

That SFL season-opener saw two players sent off - one from each side - and a last-minute equaliser for the Palmerston men.

Chisholm said: "We're trying to build a squad to win the league so after the Raith game there was both relief and disappointment.

Capable

"We conceded a goal at the worst time, just before the break, and I thought it wasn't going to be our day

"Their keeper made some good saves but luckily we got the goal and there was a sense of relief.You certainly don't want to start the season with a defeat."

Allied to Chisholm's woes was the fact he didn't know whether Queens would be facing Livingston or Airdrie.

Chisholm insists the Diamonds, like Raith, will be another tough nut

to crack.

He said: "It's not ideal, you like to know who your opposition is."

"I'm under no illusions - it's going to be tough. The thing with Airdrie that stands out for me is their team effort and spirit."

Meanwhile Airdrie boss Kenny Black is in no hurry to spend his transfer budget.

He said: "I'm looking to bring in at least one defender, one midfielder and one attacker.

"I assembled a squad I believed was capable of winning promotion out of Division Two so it hasn't been ideal for us, but we've got to get on with it now we're back up in place of Livingston.

"We will fight all the way but it's vital we get a win under our belts sooner rather than later."
