Queen's Park FC took a point from a goalless Scottish Championship draw away to Partick Thistle this week. The club's academy also provided positive news with the under-19s securing a 2-0 win under a new head coach, according to the club's official website. The Spiders finished the previous campaign in sixth place with 41 points from 36 games, scoring 35 goals but conceding 48.
The senior side's trip to Firhill ended in a stalemate, with neither team able to break the deadlock. Mark Wilson's Queen's Park set up in a 4-3-3 formation against Sean Crighton's Thistle, who opted for a 4-2-3-1 shape. The shared point leaves Queen's Park looking ahead to their next league fixture, a home match against Ayr United on January 2nd, 2027, which is detailed on the club's fixtures page.
This result continues a pattern of tight contests for a team that ended last season with a -13 goal difference. Their final league position placed them 36 points behind the champions, St Johnstone, a gap they will aim to close in the new campaign. The defensive solidity shown in Glasgow will be a foundation to build upon.
Queen's Park's under-19s began a new chapter with a 2-0 win over Falkirk at Lochinch. New head coach Lee Mitchell, who succeeded Charley King, saw his tenure start positively thanks to a brace from forward Daniel Edzii. Edzii opened the scoring with a header from a Cole Goldie cross and added a second just before half-time.
Mitchell, quoted by the club's media, acknowledged a difficult start against a well-organised Falkirk. "It was a really difficult opening to the game with Falkirk well organised and sitting in a defensive shape, making it difficult for us to break them down," he said. The coach felt his side created enough chances to have won more comfortably, praising goalkeeper Joe Hastings for some impressive saves for the visitors.
The mixed results across the age groups come as Queen's Park prepares for a new season following a mid-table finish. The club's 9 wins, 14 draws, and 13 losses from 36 games last term placed them squarely in the middle of the standings. This point on the road represents a solid, if unspectacular, start to their preparations.
Attention now turns to integrating lessons from both the senior draw and the youth victory into the broader squad structure. The club will be keen to see the promising signs from the academy translate into first-team options in the future. Fans can track the development of the squad through the official squad list.
The next confirmed date for the first team is that home encounter with Ayr United, who finished seventh last season, on the second day of January 2027.
