Midfielder Scott Martin will leave the club at the end of his contract to join Queen\u2019s Park.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old spent the back of end of the 2025\/26 season on loan with Spiders, playing 10 times, and he now makes the intracity switch to the city Stadium permanent.<\/p>\n

Martin arrived in Maryhill last February from Hamilton Accies as part of a swap deal involving Scott Robinson, making his Jags debut later that week against Falkirk.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, in just his fifth appearance for the club he suffered a serious knee injury which prematurely ended his season, however, he worked hard and returned ahead of schedule in a Scottish Cup tie against Forfar in November.<\/p>\n

Overall, he featured 10 times for Mark Wilson this season before heading to the south side of Glasgow on loan in February, playing a pivotal role in Queen\u2019s Park\u2019s Championship survival.<\/p>\n

Thistle Sporting Director Ian Baraclough said:<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough the club held a one-year extension option on Scott\u2019s contract, it was mutually agreed that we would allow him to move on to Queen\u2019s Park, where he had a successful loan spell, to allow him to get more regular game time after a significant knee injury.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn two seasons at the football club, Scott proved to be a tenacious, hardworking professional who battled hard to regain full fitness after his injury. He has always been positive around the group.<\/p>\n

\u201cScott leaves with our best wishes and will always be welcomed back to Firhill.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Friday 22nd May, 2026 at 4:29pm Midfielder Scott Martin will leave the club at the end of his…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":240744,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[9,24,63,122,124,123],"class_list":["post-240743","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-queens","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-queens","tag-queens-headlines","tag-queens-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240743","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=240743"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240743\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/240744"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=240743"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=240743"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=240743"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
