GUS MacPHERSON will be unveiled as the new head coach of Queen's Park today.
The former St Mirren and Queen of the South manager will be making his return to the dug-out - after 20 months out of the game - by taking charge of the Hampden club.
MacPherson has been selected from a shortlist of more than 30 candidates after a rigorous process set out by the part-time side.
The 45-year-old was in charge of St Mirren from December 2003 to May 2010 and during his time the team won the Challenge Cup as well as the First Division and promotion to the top flight.
Queen's are stuck at the bottom of SPFL League 2, some 10 points behind an Elgin City side they defeated 2-0 on Saturday under the guidance of interim coach Richard Sinclair.
MacPherson's first match in charge of the club will be a trip to face Peterhead, the league leaders, on Saturday.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
