FT: Queen's Park 2-1 Dunfermline

Nuijten focuses on Queen's Park 'togetherness'

Queen's Park head coach Paul Nuijten tells BBC Scotland: "Today is a good result for us and the players deserve that. They worked so hard every week, for months.

"Togetherness has been there all season, but the last few weeks we emphasised it more instead of tactics. The players work so well together, and we tell the players they need to be hard to beat.

"We started a few weeks ago, focusing on the second ball. This is key for us. We get some luck with the deflection, but the main point is we got to the second ball.

"Today we had a really young line-up, but we said in the dressing room 'age is just a number'. We focus on the basics and if we do that well, we're hard to beat."

'Ecstasy'

Queen's Park goalscorer Ruari Paton tells BBC Scotland: "It feels like ecstasy. It always seems to be the TV games that I never show my full game. I'm delighted I've finally done it on live TV!

"I thought it would be a foul, and then I thought my touch went too far left but then 'Boom!' Bob's your uncle.

"It was good to just get our nose in front. There was so much relief. We've gotten ahead in so many games and the last minute we crumbled or things haven't gone our way.

"At half-time, I thought we'd done alright but we got a kick up the arse and I was surprised by that. It's a big result today."

Queen's Park 'stood up and were counted'

Queen's Park captain Dom Thomas tells BBC Scotland: "It's a relief, I'm delighted for everyone, the players and staff. It's been a hard time for everyone but we stayed positive and believed.

"We like to give you value for money on a Friday night! No, we wanted to keep the clean sheet, that's disappointing but I was delighted to see the boys stand up in the last five or 10 minutes and be counted.

"We said all along, we only needed one game to spark us and get momentum. I hope that's the case, but boys never chucked it when times were hard and we got our reward today.

"I was nervous when they scored - I don't normally get nervous - but you just have to have that trust in your team. We never thought the game was won, we've lost late goals before."

FULL-TIME Queen's Park 2-1 Dunfermline Athletic

Queen's Park finally, after 139 days, have the victory they have craved for so long.

Not only that, it takes them level on points with Arbroath at the foot of the table - although they remain bottom on goal difference.

A fairly tepid encounter comes to a dramatic end. Thank goodness the second half was better than the first.

Reaction to come.

Ruari Paton fires in Queen's Park opener

Chance!

That was the chance to finish it! Queen's Park broke forward and Dom Thomas slipped in Ruari Paton, but the goal scorer had his shot blocked.

Close!

Oh my word, I thought that was in!

Josh Edwards burst into the box and caught the ball on the volley, lashing it into the side-netting. I don't think I was the only one fooled by that.

So close to an equaliser.

Andrew Petrie, were you silly enough to suggest that was the ball game a few moments ago?...

Should know better in the Championship.

GOAL Queen's Park 2-1 Dunfermline Athletic

Well now! Out of nothing, Ben Summers produces an absolute rocket from long range and it clips the post and goes in.

The report of this game's death have been greatly exaggerated..

BBC Sport

Dunfermline lose another player to injury. Michael O'Halloran is off, replaced by 17-year-old Liam Hoggan - who makes his league debut.

It's been the worst possible night for James McPake's side. They've picked up two or three injuries and they've been well-beaten.

GOAL Queen's Park 2-0 Dunfermline Athletic

That goal had been coming.

Cameron Bruce picked up and surged towards the box before laying off to Dom Thomas. His strike deflects wickedly off Chris Hamilton and loops over the keeper and into the net.

You'd have to think that's the ball game.

Paul Nuijten is just signalling to his players to calm down a little.

They're well placed here, it's important they don't get carried away. The Pars do have quite the attacking threat, albeit it hasn't been on show much this evening.

Another half-chance for Queen's Park and it falls to Ruari Paton on the edge of the box. It's on his right foot...

But he slips the ball to Dom Thomas instead, and his shot is blocked behind. Surely Paton should have had a shot himself there!

YELLOW CARD Ruari Paton (Queen's Park)

Ruari Paton is rather lucky there. He's into the book for a strong challenge on Paul Allan and reacts furiously when Willie Collum peeps his whistle.

You have to be careful there! That could easily have been a second yellow for dissent.

Taylor Sutherland slides one wide after Ben Summers weaved through the Queen's Park midfield and played the youngster in.

Sutherland is offside, but the play is called back for a foul on Summers. Again, Dunfermline do nothing with the set piece.

Another injury for Dunfermline

Alex Jakubiak is holding the back of his thigh, Ben Summers is limping around the pitch. In fact, Jakubiak is down now. He looks distraught as his night comes to an end.

18-year-old Taylor Sutherland is on, having returned from Bonnyrigg Rose in League Two. He scored a couple of goals there.

YELLOW CARD Tommy Robson (Queen's Park)

Robson pulls the shirt of Alex Jakubiak's back and goes into Willie Collum's little black book. The first caution of the evening.

"Not the most controversial decision Willie Collum has made this week," says Al Lamont on commentary.
