"It's a free hit. We know it is going to be a huge task. It is a home tie, Prestonfield is a tight park as well so we can hopefully make it an uncomfortable night for Queen's Park. We will treat Queen's Park with respect, but we're no going to sit in. That's not how we do it. This one I feel we have got a big chance."
"Up until six or seven seasons ago Queen's Park were languishing down in the lower leagues until they got that money pumped into them, obviously the money has been pulled away a wee bit now."
Linlithgow Rose, a Lowland League high-flyer, prepare to face Championship side Queen's Park in the Scottish Cup third round at Prestonfield under BBC Scotland coverage. Linlithgow approach the match without fear and view it as a free hit while acknowledging the difficulty of facing a higher‑level opponent. Prestonfield's tight dimensions are expected to give Linlithgow a home advantage and the team plans to press and play proactively rather than sit deep. Queen's Park are regarded as a young, recently invested side and are the clear favourites, but Linlithgow aim to make the night uncomfortable and pursue an upset.
