Murphy frustrated by Queens' missed chances in draw
-

With Inverness Caledonian Thistle idle at the weekend, the Palmerston gaffer bemoaned the dropped points that would have closed the gap on the leaders and setup a tasty match in the Highlands on Saturday.
After a goalless first half at New Central Park, Kai Kennedy fired Queens ahead from the penalty spot just after the restart, but the hosts levelled five minutes later when they pounced on a mistake.
