Michael Ruth

Michael Ruth of Queen's Park was born in Glasgow, Scotland on 8 January 2002 (age 24).

Michael Ruth, born on 8 January 2002 (age 24), is a Scottish striker with Queen’s Park, where he wears the number 9 shirt. His Transfermarkt profile places him firmly in the centre-forward bracket, which is where his recent club football has been built.

His most productive league campaign came with Queen’s Park in 2025-26, when he scored four goals in 16 appearances. That is modest enough, but it remains the clearest marker so far of his senior output.

In 2026-27, Ruth has made six appearances for Queen’s Park across the Championship and League Cup, scoring twice in the latter. It is a straightforward career profile at this stage: a Scottish striker trying to turn regular involvement into a more consistent return.
