Queen’s Park are delighted to advise that Tommy McIntrye has been appointed as the club’s Academy Director.
The former Assistant Technical Director at The Scottish Football Association and Head of Professional Academy at Celtic joined the Spiders in the autumn of 2022 as their Head of Coaching under Director of Football Operations Marijn Bueker who left the club recently to return to his native Holland.
Club President Graeme Shields commented: “I am delighted to have someone of Tommy’s experience in place as our Academy Director. Queen’s Park has an outstanding track record of developing young players, and with our Academy structure enhanced in recent years, I am sure Tommy and his staff will maintain that tradition. The Academy is a key part of our strategy and I look forward to seeing more Academy players pushing for a place in our first team squad.”
McIntyre who as a player was part of the Aberdeen team that won the European Super Cup in 1983 and scored for Hibs in the League Cup Final of 1991 will now take up the youth reins at the Championship club as he explained: “Queen’s Park already have a great Academy programme and I am looking to build on that. There are terrific coaches at the club who work hard at making Queen’s Park a club of choice for young players to come to from Glasgow and the surrounding areas.
“Callan McKenna started this season in goal for our first team aged just 16 and recently we have had Lewis Reid, Zach Mauchin, Alex Fairlie and Lucas McCormick all involved in Championship games and there is more talent to come.”
