BOSS Gordon Chisholm reckons he can go to Hampden and just enjoy Queen of the South's glamour semi-final against either Celtic or Aberdeen - after surviving the torture of yesterday's tie with Dundee.

Chisholm's side triumphed 2-0 and were rewarded with SPL opponents by Michel Platini and Sepp Blatter who conducted the draw.

The Queens gaffer said: "It will be so difficult but we are going to enjoy it and the players will benefit from the experience.

"Our older boys like Steve Tosh have played on this stage but lads such as Bob Harris and Paul Burns haven't and it's a moment they must enjoy.

"I didn't enjoy beating Dundee because there was just too much at stake as we really wanted to make the semis.

"Now we're there we'll relish it." The other last-four clash is more complicated with St Mirren or St Johnstone facing either Partick or the winners of today's clash between Rangers and Hibs.

Buddies boss Gus MacPherson said: "At the moment it is of no concern to us because we face another tough game against St Johnstone at Love Street.

"But we would like to get to a semi and that's the incentive."
