Queen’s Park head coach Gus MacPherson has released seven players in the wake of the club finishing bottom in Scottish football for only the second time since they were formed in 1867.
Long-serving defender Jamie Brough heads the list of players being released and he is joined by goalkeeper Lucas Birnstingl, Kris Gebbie, Liam Gormley, Michael Keenan, Grant Mosson and Joao Vitoria.
Ten players have been retained, including the highly sought-after Blair Spittal, with David Anderson, Ross Fisher, Paul Gallacher, Scott Gibson, Alex Grier and Thomas Collins all offered the chance of another season.
MacPherson said: “We have had to make some tough decisions regarding the present squad as the players worked tirelessly during what was a difficult season.
“Their application, commitment and effort are to be commended. The players leave with our sincere thanks and best wishes for the future.”
