Robin Veldman appointed by Queen's Park as Dutchman signals new era at Lesser Hampden

Queen's Park have announced the appointment of Robin Veldman as their new boss.

The Glasgow-based club had one of their strongest seasons in years as the campaign came to a close in May, and they would have won back-to-back promotions had they beaten Dundee on the final day - though a 5-3 loss consigned them to the play-offs. Then, a bizarre 8-3 aggregate defeat to inner-city rivals Partick Thistle in the quarter-final first leg saw their season fizzle out in dramatic circumstances, and from there on changes at the club were visible - with manager Owen Coyle stepping down as a result.

That has given the chance for someone new and full of different ideas to take the reigns in alignment with the club's vision for the future, and it seems that Veldman could well bring about new changes after being appointed on a three-year deal.
