Queen's Park haven't splashed cash on Premiership push as Spiders' web reaches far and wide

Queen's Park are potentially eight games away from the Scottish Premiership.

The Championship leaders currently hold a five point advantage over Dundee, although their rivals have a game-in-hand. It could cap a remarkable rise that could see them win consecutive promotions, coming all the way from League One. Owen Coyle’s side are certainly on the climb but they have done it without spending lavishly on big-names and overpaid players.

The Spiders have been backed by the finances of Sir Lord Haughey but he hasn’t been gung-ho with his spending on the team and the recruitment has been more organic and out-of-the box. It has not only brought success on the park but growing interest in Queen’s Park rising stars. Director of football Marijn Beuker has played a big role behind the scenes as Coyle gets them firing on the park, while former Hibs CEO Leeann Dempster leads from the boardroom, as well as putting a focus on strengthening the club's links with the local community.
