Queen of the South duo Sean O'Connor and Andy Aitken are minor fitness doubts but both should feature.

 

O'Connor, who has missed two games with a neck injury, will be competing with on-loan John Stewart to partner top-scorer Stephen Dobbie up front.

 

Aberdeen manager Jimmy Calderwood must continue without injured trio Jamie Smith, Lee Mair and Richie Byrne.

 

Steve Lovell and Derek Young are fit again but may have to be content with a place on the bench.

 

Jackie McNamara has recovered from the knock he suffered in Monday's Premier League victory over Falkirk.

 

Queens midfielder Neil Scally misses out due to a knee ligament injury.

 

Former Celtic defender Craig Reid and on-loan Kilmarnock forward Robert Campbell are both cup-tied for the First Division side.

 

Queen of the South (from): McDonald, McCann, Thomson, Aitken, Harris, Burns, MacFarlane, Tosh, McQuilken, Dobbie, O'Connor, Grindlay, Stewart, O'Neill, Paton, Gilmour, Robertson, Lauchlan.

 

Aberdeen (from); Soutar, Maybury, Considine, Diamond, Bus, McNamara, Foster, Walker, Severin, Aluko, Duff, Touzani, De Visscher, Young, Lovell, Miller, Maguire, Mackie, Langfield.

I'm so gutted about the result knowing we needed to win to be in europe next season, But once again aberdeen fuck it up as usual, and now we need a bloody miracle to acheive something in the league but i can't see it happening, Oh well 

STAND FREE!!!!  Hurting like a Bastard but we are better than this and WILL come through!

Better than this   sadly the results and performances all year would indicate that we aren't actually better than this at all.

Today is the day AFC died....worst result in our history,beat Celtic in the previous round,and then get knocked out by a bunch of journeymen nobodies!!!Disgusting!!!

two semi finals we have bottled,dont deserve f**k all,am totally f**ked off 

That was the worst defensive display that I think I've ever seen Aberdeen perform.

 

It was terrible. I wouldn't say it's the worst i've ever seen Aberdeen generally, but in defense it certainly was.

 

Was it seriously just over a year ago that Aberdeens defence was called one of the best in Scotland?

 

Thats pretty much the season over, if they continue to play like that then I think it will be 5 losses in 5.

Considine might have scored two goals, but him and McNamara were absolutely shocking today.  Maybury wasn't much better, and Soapy had a nightmare - awful kicking and should have punched the ball that led to their opening goal.

Can't remember which goal it was, 3rd or 4th, ball is punted up the pitch by the QOTS defence, QOTS forward is in an offside position so jogs back towards the middle of the pitch and for some reason Considine follows him letting another forward in behind him to score. Utterly pathetic.
