Queen's Park F.C.

you could end up in the playoffs yeah exactly but I don't

think Queen's Park are either so I

mean they've got 18 points on Queen's Park we've only played 8 games right so I totally get that however If they're realistically looking another five or six wins over the course of the season out of the next 28 matches, that'll be enough for them.

Yeah,

yeah.

So let's see what happens.

Yeah, absolutely.

Elsewhere, Arbroath winning by two goals to one against Queen's Park.

next week right so what's been happening beyond the first team including your wee trip up for a bridie yesterday

yes so Sam Clill Harden's had a wee gaff although I think saying that he's free to Scotland under 21's as you know Charlie Dewar and Scotty Constable are both our lads played the full 90 minutes again Charlie after returning from suspension and they would help their loan side to a 2-0 lead by half time at home to Queen's Park The second half was more of a batting down the hatches job but unsurprisingly both Scotty and Charlie stood up to the test and helped their loan side to an important three points courtesy of a 2-1 win.

Good performances again fae the lads.

Owen stuffed in at Air United.

That one has a 7.30pm kick-off and we'll see United fielding a very young team, courtesy of the fact that seven of the academy lads are heading off to Portugal with the first team.

The women's team.

United hosted Queen's Park last Sunday, but it would end in defeat against the Ouijas.

Alma Kodogone scored her sixth of the season, but it was too little too late as Queen's Park won 2-1.

But when we win the Glasgow Cup, I mean, to put it in context, I think the Glasgow Cup, I mean, obviously there's six proper teams in Glasgow and sometimes, you know, other sides were invited to participate, like lower level.

So we've got six proper clubs in Scotland, sorry, in Glasgow, by which I mean, you know, Ferdlaner, Queen's Park, Clyde, Celtic Rangers and Partick Thistle.

But then below that, you have, you know, numerous other sort of, you know, local teams as well.

And actually, other than the Scottish Cup, so remember, this is before the Scottish League exists, that the Glasgow Cup starts.

for League 2 then isn't it you're

hampered but then you get I guess you get the trip and they'll be a bit of like someone was saying I heard Andy Robertson on a podcast that I thought was interesting and he said he was really lucky he was playing for someone Dundee maybe Queen's Park maybe playing for one of his smaller teams but it was the season Rangers came down After that season, loads of players got signed out of the lower league because people were watching it.

Yeah, right.

Makes sense.

We did Tide Park by Lewis Capaldi.

Then we were in Boston and we just finished a gig doing Where You Can't Beat It at Queen's Park, so that was good.

Was that the one you

invited me to and I couldn't make it? I invited you alone, I can't make it.

Yeah, what I'm not sure about is other links with the football clubs of Glasgow.

football clubs in Glasgow would be a weird one I mean I think obviously through Andrew Watson, Queen's Park and a club who are now defunct called Maxwell and I think Park Grove he played for as well those clubs would have benefited by having him there but again Bob as far as I'm aware and if anyone is listening who can connect me on this please do I mean your book is the first that I have saw which deals with this with the depth of research that you have and that it It goes specifically into individuals and how those links with Everton were created where the transatlantic slave trade is concerned.

Yeah, I mean, I haven't really done much research on other clubs and the links with slavery, but I suspect there is plenty of information out there awaiting to be unearthed.

It's the awaiting part that's the troubling part.

25th of September, John, I was looking at it and I thought, anything happen? And my goodness, a lot of things happened.

So in 1961, the Celtics on debut against Queen's Park in a Glasgow Cup tie, Celtic won 4-1.

So the Glenn Daly Celtic song was first aired then, still.

Is that your favourite Celtic song,

There are games, of course, going on tonight for Scottish Championship fixtures.

Our both are playing Queen's Park, Air United, Stenhouse Muir, Cali against Morton and Wraith Rovers against Livingston.

Any of those stick out to you?

My eyes are always drawn to my former club, Air United, and up against Steny, who have started in remarkable fashion a part-time team in the Championship and flying high at the top of the league.
