Queen's Park friendly abandoned after goalkeeper taken to hospital following sickening collision

Queen's Park's pre-season friendly match with League One club Alloa Athletic was abandoned after a horrific injury for former goalkeeper Willie Muir.

The stopper made 188 appearances for the Glasgow club before his departure earlier this summer after 16 appearances during the 2020/21 season that resulted in promotion to the Scottish Championship. He was appearing as a trialist for the third tier side based at the Indodrill in an attempt to win a contract for the new term but proceedings were halted 10 minutes from time at 0-0.

He collided with Spiders defender Charlie Fox and was knocked unconscious. Queen's Park tweeted an update which read 'The game is ended after 80 minutes after a horrible collision between Fox and trialist keeper for Alloa (who ex-Spider Willie Muir) who requires medical treatment. It ended Alloa 0-0 Queen’s Park' while their opponents provided more updates on the situation surrounding the 29-year-old.
