Queens player boss Wullie Gibson lapped up the win at Edinburgh and revealed how his playmaker son Lewis was out of the team the day before.
Lewis grabbed the opener and set up the other two for the Doonhamers in an away day triumph. He also made a goal line clearance.
Dad Wullie revealed: “I told the boys how important it is to train well because on Friday morning he (Lewis) wasn’t in the team.
“But the way he trained on Friday, I changed my mind. It proved to be the correct decision because of his performance on Saturday.
“The boys were in there (the dressing room) trying to torment him because he’s yet to smile, but two assists, a goal and an important clearance at the time is decent because if Edinburgh had managed to nick one it might’ve been a little bit nerve-wracking.
“To be fair, Lewis was tremendous. You’ve got to give the boy credit. They all talk about how he’s my son but he did well.”
Queens had ditched the capital crew twice earlier in the season, but the Palmerston boss stressed: “I said to the boys that I felt it would be a different game from the last times we played Edinburgh because they’ve picked up since then.
“They are sitting second in the league and have been able to pick up results if they aren’t playing too well. To come here and score three good goals and keep a clean sheet are pleasing factors.
“I felt we were the better team throughout. From back to front, we were magnificent.”
He added of Connor Murray’s early penalty miss: “Wee Connor had stayed out on Friday after training, practised a few penalties and he never missed.
“I didn’t watch the penalty on Saturday but the boys told me that he blazed it over the bar. But these things happen.
“I thought Connor reacted well after his miss. He took the ball in very good areas and made the team tick at times.”
Lewis’ opener came from a cross that evaded the defence and dropped into the net.
The South supremo said: “He certainly didn’t mean it!
“And it did, to be fair I think Lewis’ performance deserved a goal.”
