No Queen's Park role for Andy Millen

McPherson not being re-united with his former assistant at Queen's Park

Recently appointed Queen’s Park head coach Gus McPherson will not be bringing his assistant at St. Mirren and Queen of the South Andy Millen with him to the League 2 club.

Millen, who was a popular figure at the Spiders when he brought the curtain down on his playing career as a 45 year old 3 years ago, took on a coaching job with Ayr United at the start of the season and McPherson feels it would be unfair to ask him to join him for a third time.

McPherson explained: “Everyone knows that I worked closely with Andy for the best part of a decade but it would not be right to ask him to walk away from Ayr halfway through a season.”

“It would also be unfair on the coaching staff at Queen’s Park who I am only getting to know. It would not be right to say I am bringing Andy in before we have even worked together.”
