Queen's Park look a decent bet to repel Welsh raiders

Scottish Challenge Cup quarter-final
BBC Alba, 7.45pm Friday

Queen's Park welcome Welsh opposition Connah's Quay Nomads to Hampden in the Challenge Cup and they can avoid defeat in 90 minutes.

The Welsh Premier League table toppers are worthy favourites for their trip to Glasgow, but the Spiders are in fine form too, topped off by becoming the first side to defeat Peterhead on their travels last week.

Mark Roberts has done an excellent job and they have certainly improved since they went down to Wales in September and eliminated TNS on penalties after a 2-2 draw.

Nomads' Scottish manager Andy Morrison has certainly taken this competition seriously, but the amateurs are unbeaten in six and can make life tough for their visitors.

Recommendation
Queen's Park or draw double chance
