Stephen Robinson Delays Captaincy Decision for Queen's Park
Queen's Park head coach Stephen Robinson has delayed naming his captain until after their cup group games, citing a leadership group that will run the football club.
What Happened?
Robinson intends to name his captain for the season ahead of their Premiership opener with Hearts, saying he has "four or five" options. He has rotated the responsibility so far, with Kevin Nisbet, Brad Lyons, and Dan Happe all being handed the skipper's armband during their three Premier Sports Cup victories.
Why It Matters for Queen's Park
The trend looks set to continue as they complete their Group A fixtures at home to Kelty Hearts on Saturday. Robinson has emphasized the importance of a leadership group that will adhere to the standards and values of the club.
What Comes Next?
"We will change it again," said Robinson. "We have got four or five boys I believe lead the football club, lead the dressing room, lead the standards and that is the way we want it. Obviously somebody will be named for the Hearts game to lead the team and that will stay like that for the season."
As of 27 July 2026, Queen's Park are 6th in the Championship with 41 points from 36 games, 9 wins, 14 draws, and 13 losses. They have scored 35 goals and conceded 48, with a -13 goal difference. They are 36 points behind leaders ST Johnstone in the title race. Their last result was a 1-1 draw with Partick on 1 May 2026. Their recent form has been 0 wins, 3 draws, and 2 losses (DDLLD).
