Matty Shiels is a Scottish left-back, born on 13 September 2000 (age 25), whose senior career is tied most clearly to Queen's Park. He is not a player with a long trail of clubs behind him; the Glasgow club is where the shape of his career has been formed.
In 2025-26, Shiels was a regular part of the Queen's Park side, making 36 Championship appearances and scoring one league goal. He also played three times in the League Cup and twice in the Scottish Cup, taking him to 41 appearances and one goal across all competitions for the season.
That campaign also stands as his most productive league season to date, both in workload and output. Primarily used at left-back, he has become a steady first-team presence rather than a peripheral name passing through.
Shiels' career to this point is a straightforward one: a Scottish full-back established at Queen's Park, with 36 league appearances and one goal across two seasons, and still relevant to their first-team plans in 2025-26.
