Two 1-0 defeats followed to Ayr and Alloa but they got their first Championship win in the next game with a 1-0 win over Morton at Palmerston.
In the Tunnocks Caramel Wafer Challenge Cup, Queens went out after a 3-2 defeat away to Clyde and lost 2-0 at Inverness in the league the following week before the 1-1 draw with Dundee in front of the BBC Scotland cameras.
Queens followed that draw up win a 1-0 win over Partick in Glasgow and then an impressive 4-0 win over Dundee United in Dumfries.
After drawing with Alloa and then losing to Inverness and Dunfermline, Queens defeated 2nd placed Ayr 3-1 at home.
