Date of Birth:27/04/73
Place of Birth:Kirkaldy
Position:Midfielder
Previous Clubs:Arbroath, St. Johnstone, Raith Rovers, Livingston,
Falkirk, Aberdeen, Gretna
Contract Expiry: 31st May 2010
Profile:
'Tosher' was signed in 2007 shortly after Jamie McQuilken in what was
effectively a double swoop on neighbours Gretna by Ian McCall and
struggled initially to have an impact due to a bad knee injury picked
up early on in his Queens career. The following season though he went
from strength to strength once played in central midfield and was a
pivotal figure in the Scottish Cup run, scoring the first goal in both
semi final and final. For this alone he will go down in history. The
quiz king in the squad had a quieter season last year but still added
six goals to the cause and agreed a one year extension in the summer
that will take him through to his 37th birthday.

Signed on a pre-contract from Stranraer in early 2008 the young centre
half finally joined up in the summer of that year on a two year deal.
Farmed out on loan to Montrose for the first part of last season but

and grabbed a spectacular equaliser late on at Livingston in the final
game of the season. Will be looking to make more of an impact this
season.

Contract Expiry: 31st May 2010
Profile:
Signed along with Stevie Tosh to help turn the club's fortunes around
in January 2007 after becoming surplus to requirements at Gretna,
'Jammer' has been a big success at Queens. Initially playing left back
but since the arrival of Bob Harris has probably played more often on
the left of midfield. Even entering the veteran stage of his career
still featured 40 times last season and agreed a new one year deal in
the summer.
Left the club in January 2010
to take up a career in the Police Force.
Previous Clubs: Southampton, Ross
County, Raith Rovers, ICT, Livingston, St Johnston (loan)
Contract Expiry: 31st December
2009
Profile: Veteran winger signed
as soon as the January 2009 transfer window opened from Inverness
Caledonian Thistle. Made an immediate impact scoring the SFL's first
goal on 2009 on his debut at Morton and added four more before the
season was over, showing exactly why Gordon Chisholm was keen to bring
him in. Prefers to play on the right of midfield but has featured on
the left for Queens at times. Signed a seven month extension to his
initial deal at the end of the season.
Previous Clubs: Busby Boys Club, Queen's Park, St Johnstone
Contract Expiry: 31st May 2011
Profile: Signed from St Johnstone in August 2008 for a nominal
fee, David can play on either wing or as a forward. After a hugely
encouraging start last term he dropped out of favour for a time and
will look to be more involved this term. He did contribute four goals
last season though. Signed a one year extension to his contract in
September 2009.
Player profile: A talented
player who won the SFL Division 1 player of the month for January
2009. Can play upfront or on the wing to equal effect. Another
summer 2009 signing after being paid off by Clyde in a cost cutting
move. Joined Queens on a two year contract.
Previous clubs: Celtic,
(Kilmarnock) (L), St Johnstone (L), Livingston (L), Hamilton
Accies.
Contract Expiry: 31st May 2011
Profile: Featured for the
Scotland Under 21's, a highly rated midfielder who has spent most of
his career out on loan from Celtic. He finally departed the Parkhead
club in January 2009 for Hamilton Accies but failed to gain a longer
term deal at the end of the season. Instead he joined Queens on a two
year contract and will look to freshen up the midfield.

Profile:
Summer 2008 signing from the defunct Gretna side, having been a regular
in their SPL season. Can play at right back but latterly
has featured most often for Queens at centre back. Was a regular for
most of last season but lost his place towards the end of the season
due to suspension and will have to watch his discipline this season,
having been booked an incredible 12 times in addition to one straight
red card.
Profile:
A revelation after a low key arrival from Clyde in the summer of 2007,
Bob has made himself an automatic pick at left back and was nominated
to the First Division Team of the Season in that position last season.
Has contributed a few goals also, including last year's Goal of the
Season, a thumping free kick over in Denmark during our UEFA Cup defeat
to FC Nordsjaelland.

Profile:
Signed from Celtic on January 31st 2008 after a loan spell at Stirling
Albion which unfortunately saw him 'cup tied' and unable to figure in
the run to the Scottish Cup Final that season. Predominantly used as a
right back but can also line up in the centre of defence. Signed a one
year extension to his initial 18 month deal in the summer.
Profile:
Signed from St Mirren the week before the 2008 Scottish Cup Final
having somewhat lost his way with the Paisley club despite being a
frequent scorer in their First Division years. Made an encouraging
start with Queens but lost his goal-touch and his place in the team
after a month or so. Recaptured some form towards the end of last
season and will look to build on that this term.

replace Sean O'Connor, he featured in every match for the Perth side
last season prior to their fielding of a youth team in the final match.
Scored three times against Queens last season, including two at

Aitken. Has spent the majority of his career in the SPL and will
bring a steady and wise head to the defence this season after signing a
two year deal. He was released by Kilmarnock partly as a result of the
financial doubts caused by the Setanta tv deal collapse.
Player profile: Former Scotland
U21 defender joined Queens in late June with the objective of gaining
more first team experience. Turned down the opportunity of a one
year extension with St Mirren to do so.
Player profile: A solid 'keeper

this term. Signed on a two year contract in June 2009, despite being
courted by many other clubs after being released by Clyde due to their
financial struggles.

Entering his testimonal year in 2009 big Jim is the club captain and
has been the heart and soul of the side for many a year. He has made
more than 350 appearances for Queens and his goal against Rangers in
the Scottish Cup final says everything you need to know about the man.
With the departure of Andy Aitken and retirement of Sean O'Connor he is
the last of the 2002 Second Division Champions at the club. Now in
charge of the u19 side but retains a first team playing contract.
