Queen's Park

Queen's Park's profile is a long way from the level Celtic supporters are used to judging: they are near the bottom of this group for both scoring and concession rate, with the home attack their most obvious flaw. Their best chance against a stronger side would be keeping the game narrow and awkward, but on attack, defence and recent form, Celtic would expect to hold the clear edge.

The clearest weakness is home attacking output: 0.9 goals per match is bottom of this comparison, and it drags down everything else. Their best argument is some degree of home defensive competence, where they sit mid-range rather than outright poor, but overall they are well behind St Johnstone for both scoring and prevention. The radar reads like a side built to survive narrow margins, not impose itself.

Using 34 players points to a squad that has had plenty of churn, but Calum Ferrie's 36 starts show there is at least one fixed point in the team structure. The bigger issue is the spread of production: 24 league goals across the squad and a top league scorer on four points to a side without a dependable attacking hierarchy. Rotation has not translated into a broad, reliable scoring base.
