Queens make trialist McParland an offer

QUEEN of the South have offered a permanent deal to former Celtic and Livingston midfielder Tony McParland. The 27-year-old has been training at Palmerston after being released by the Almondvale side last November and made a trialist appearance as a substitute against Partick Thistle on Boxing Day.

Queens manager Gordon Chisholm said: "Tony impressed me during his short appearance as a substitute."
