Established in the Victorian era, we trace Queen's Park lineage back to the year of 1867. Nevertheless, none of that regal polish is evident in a park; instead, they have firmly grounded their feet on the football pitch at The City Stadium here in Scotland. It's been their stomping grounds for a long time now, their familiar turf. Not quite a throne, but a home nonetheless, where they rove and joust with other knights of the Scottish football game.
One cannot help but admire the youthful vigour that marks the team as unique. The average age of the Queen's Park squad hovers just slightly past two dozen — 24 years to be precise. A lively bunch of 25 players make up the club's unit; promising, vibrant and packed full with potential energy just waiting to erupt into kinetic motion on the pitch.
The current season has seen Queen's Park striving and sweating in four different arenas. The Championship, undoubtedly the most gruelling of all, places them currently in the 8th position. The ubiquitous weight of the tournament bears heavy on their shoulders, yet they push on. Explicit mention should also be given to their participation in the League Cup where they have entered the ring in its initial phase, Group A.
In the oldest national football competition in the world, the Scottish Cup, Queen's Park have managed to progress up to the Fifth Round. Not a feat to be dismissed by any means. In the Challenge Cup, they've gritted their teeth and fought their way into the Quarter-finals. Overall, a diverse and comprehensive encapsulation of football competition across the board.
