Queen of the South manager James Fowler has insisted that his side are capable of finishing in the top four of the Scottish Championship.

The Doonhamers went down 2-0 to champions Hearts at Tynecastle this afternoon, but Fowler is confident that they are good enough to secure a spot in the playoffs.

"We're quite happy with how we played, the result's not what we wanted. We've got to take confidence from how we played," BBC Sport quotes him as saying.

"I think we've got enough to finish in the top four. There's all to play for in the coming games."

Queens remain in fourth place, one point clear of Falkirk below them, following their loss at Hearts.
