Queens boss Allan Johnston names Dundee United as best team in Championship but believes they can beat them again

Queen of the South manager Allan Johnston reckons his side will be facing the eventual Championship winners when Dundee United visit this weekend.

However, he also believes his players can upset the Tannadice men for a second time.

Back in October the Doonhamers handed out a 4-0 defeat to Robbie Neilson’s runaway leaders and Johnston reckons that if everyone in his team hit the same heights they can win again.

Johnston said: “United are the best team in the league.

“Not only are they good but they are consistent, especially when you look at the run they were on during the second quarter of the season.

“We know that we have a real game on our hands but I am sure that they will not fully like the thought of coming to our place looking for a win.

“We will look to put in a performance similar to the last one against them.

“We have been playing well recently and, if we can keep that going, we will look to put them under pressure.

“We must have everyone playing at 100% to get another win.”
