I never pay any attention to the Scottish Leagues Ironically over the weekend I saw the lower leagues and saw "new teams" that I didn't even know were in the Scottish "Professional " Leagues
I say professional because wikipedia has just reminded me they used to be Amateurs the wikipedia page is worth a read
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen%27s_Park_F.C.#:~:text=Queen%27s%20Park%20Football%20Club%20is%20a%20Scottish%20professional,the%20second%20tier%20of%20the%20Scottish%20football%20pyramid.
Notts county were formed in 1862 (on checking) and Queens Park in 1867 and
Beginnings (1867–68)
The official club crest which has been worn on playing kit since 1928
The Queen's Park Football Club was founded on 9 July 1867 with the words: "Tonight at half past eight o'clock a number of gentlemen met at No. 3 Eglinton Terrace for the purpose of forming a football club."[8]
Gentlemen from the local YMCA took part in football matches in the local Glasgow area which gave the club its name.[9][10] During the inaugural meeting, debate raged over the club's name. Proposals included: 'The Celts'; 'The Northern', and 'Morayshire'. Perhaps such choice of names suggest a Highland influence within the new club. After much deliberation, 'Queen's Park' was adopted and carried, but only by a majority of one vote. Although Queen's was not the first club in Britain, that honour going to Edinburgh's Foot-Ball Club, formed in 1824, they can certainly claim to be the first Association club in Scotland.[11] Opposition first came in the form of a now defunct Glaswegian side called Thistle F.C. and Queen's won 2–0 on 1 August 1868.[12
Constitutional change

The club's constitution was changed prior to the appointment of the next manager, which meant that Queen's could sign former professionals provided they were not paid by the club.[8] Former Dundee manager John McCormack was unveiled in July 1998 as the new head coach.
On wikipedia there is "interesting" (to some) stuff about how they introduced new styles of "play" to the game etc in bygone times
Enough of the fantasy talk and back to reality
Apart from gentle introduction for him in The Scottish Cup game against Rangers where they have been allotted 1,000 tickets .....
they play Dunfermline away on February 22nd Yeboah at least will keep warm by running onto through balls whilst Hurst will have no option if he wants to keep warm. Tracking back will also raise his body temperature.
and of course he can look forward to playing against a team in Rovers "style" shirts . (hamilton) I imagine lower level Scottish clubs cannot afford to swop shirts
Who knows what might happen to him if he has a girlfriend ? it would be an obvious strain - hopefully it makes a man of him in more ways than one.
Ironically Queens Park have just signed a Crystal Palace loanee - so presumably he will have something to break the Scottish ice with him ?.
and finally Their nickname is The Spiders according to the web ..... The Spiders from Glasgow ?

They own that one but it's mostly used by youth team. They alternate between Hampden and Lesser Hampden, most league games have been at Hampden and looks as though the remaining league games are all there too.

The SFA basically let them play at the big one, they have an agreement in place of some sort the chap who ran the tour I went on was saying.
