The luck, or bad luck, of the fourth-round draw means not too many lower league sides have home ties that immediately suggest a Scottish Cup shock could be on the cards, but Saturday’s game between Queen of the South and St Mirren is one of them. Stephen Robinson’s side have slipped to eighth in the Premiership after four straight defeats. This time, the side sitting sixth in League 1, and now managed by Peter Murphy, have home advantage and have not lost at Palmerston in five games, albeit their last defeat was a particularly sore one – 5-1 by Kelty Hearts.
