Queen’s Park travel to face Falkirk on Saturday in Round Four of the SPFL Trust Trophy with the Spiders out to match last season’s achievement of reaching the last eight.
The trip to The Falkirk Stadium is a considerably shorter journey than the one to Bala Town where Queen’s Park won in Round Three with the meeting in Stirlingshire also the first ever between the clubs in this competition.
The clubs were however together in League 1 in Season 2021/22 with Queen’s Park recording a 1-0 away success and then a 6-0 win at home with the final two meetings ending in 1-1 draws.
Robin Veldman spoke to QPTV this morning at Lochinch about Saturday’s cup-tie. The Head Coach covered:
- Foundation Performance
- Disconnections/ Connections
- Confident Falkirk
