Celtic youngster Ben McPherson is convinced Queen’s Park will be the perfect club for his development as he bids to build a long-term future at Parkhead.
The 19-year-old has joined the Spiders on a season-long loan after being involved with the Hoops first-team over the course of their summer preparations.
The Scotland under-21 internationalist featured against Yokohama F Marinos and Gamba Osaka in Japan, as well as against Wolves in Ireland, before being an unused substitute in James Forrest’s testimonial against Athletic Club Bilbao.
The right-back said: “After a good period in pre-season with Celtic, both the club and I felt that a loan move would be ideal for my further development.
“There was interest from other clubs, but once I had spoken to [director of football] Marijn Beuker and [head coach] Robin Veldman about the project and philosophy at Queen’s Park, I felt it would be a first-class opportunity for me to continue to learn and develop at a very progressive club.
“I am here to work hard and to give 110 per cent effort to the club, staff, my colleagues on the pitch, and most importantly the fans.”
