| Former players |
| Gordon Lappin Born: Greenock, 29th March 1981 Signed: from Gourock Y. A. C. , June 2002 Height: N/A Mass: N/A Debut: vs. Elgin City, 03/08/02 Clearly, there are high hopes for Lappin, most of them emanating from John McCormack. However, the young full back or midfielder has been quiet in most games until the point of writing. Gordon will probably continue to be a utility player for the foreseeable future. |
| Alistair MacNiven Born: Paisley, 5th December 1983 Signed: from Rangers, August 2000 Height: 6ft Mass: 12st 5lb Debut: never played Has still to make an appearance for the first team, after becoming formally part of the squad during the summer. Alistair had played for two seasons in the Under-18 team, and was the only one of them to make the step up this close season. Plying his trade at present with the Strollers, in the full back roles. |
| These profiles are now clearly obsolete, but we were reluctant to get rid of them entirely. So here they are. |
| James Allan Born: Glasgow, 21st September 1979 Signed: from East Fife, July 2002 Height: 5ft 9in Mass: 12st Debut: vs. Elgin City, 03/08/02 A tricky winger, and one of the few players at this level capable of beating their marker with fine ball skills. At times, James's crossing could be better, and he is also suspect when faced with a clear chance at goal. However, his natural ability means he will be a vital component in the team as Queen's look to improve their form. Never fully established at Cowdenbeath and East Fife, but was given the chance to re-build his career at Hampden, and has grasped the opportunity very well. Memorable moments: the two excellent goals in the Challenge Cup, versus Berwick and Brechin. |
| Tony Mitchell Born: Glasgow, 10th January, 1979 Signed: from Larkhall Thistle, August 2001 Height: 6ft 1in Mass: 13st 8lb Debut: vs. Albion Rovers, 27/10/01 QP League Career Apps Goals 2001/02 12 - Mitchell acted as back-up keeper to on-loan Graeme Smith for most of last season, but got his chance towards the end of the season after some shaky defensive displays. Performed competently and is likely to be first choice this time around. Previously on the books at St. Mirren and played twice for Albion Rovers before turning junior. |
| Mark Cairns Born: Edinburgh, 25th September 1969 Signed: from Brechin City, January 2003 Height: 6ft Mass: 13st Debut: vs. Albion Rovers, 08/02/03 Mark arrived just before the end of January transfer deadline, in order to bolster the goalkeeping position following a poor run of form by Tony Mitchell. Mark has top-flight experience with Partick Thistle, where he understudied Nicky Walker after joining from Gala Fairydean in 1994. Moved to Alloa in 1997 and won promotion and a Challenge Cup medal in 1999/2000, before signing up for the Glebe Park revolution under Dick Campbell in 2001. Brechin released him recently, and KB stepped in. |
