QUEEN’S PARK midfielder Jamie Bradley continued his top form on loan at Clyde as the Bully Wee finished their season on a high After his starring role against Stirling last weekend he again turned on the style in a 6-1 win over Peterhead at New Douglas Park Bradley scored one goal and assisted another two as his team dismantled the champions of William Hill League Two His corner led to the opener for Marley Redfern who scored at the second attempt and after threatening himself Bradley registered an assist when he set-up Darren Hynes for a sweet volley and Clyde’s second The third came from the on-loan Spider’s boot too clipping the ball for Logan Dunachie to head home It was then Bradley’s turn to get a goal of his own three points ahead of Stranraer who included Lewis Reid in the starting line-up against Bonnyrigg Rose However the bottom side triumphed and Reid who had watched Queen’s Park from the Hampden stand on Friday night was on the losing side for the second time within 24 hours Ricky Waugh was a substitute as Stirling Albion drew 0-0 with Forfar Athletic Magnus Mackenzie saw Alloa narrowly miss out on a promotion play-off place The Wasps lost 2-1 to Kelty Hearts which meant Stenhousemuir snatched fourth place – and a Championship play-off position against Airdrie MacKenzie had found a scoring streak last month as Andy Graham’s side made a late push for a post-season place Match ticket enquiries –tickets@queensparkfc.co.ukHospitality enquiries – hospitality@queensparkfc.co.ukSponsorship/Commercial enquiries – kieran@queensparkfc.co.uk The Queen’s Park Football ClubThe city StadiumMount FloridaGlasgow Phone: 0141 632 1275Email: generalenquiries@queensparkfc.co.uk Monday 5 May – ClosedTuesday 6 May – 10am – 4pmWednesday 7 May – 10am – 4pmThursday 8 May – 10am – 4pmFriday 9 May – 10am – 4pm © 2025 The Queen’s Park Football Club Designed by IanCairnsMedia Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player Sunderland will play Coventry in the Championship play-offs It proved a miserable end to the regular season for play-off bound Sunderland as they lost to Queen's Park Rangers to continue their poor form Nicolas Madsen scored first for QPR inside the first five minutes with an emphatic finish after a delightful team move and Jimmy Dunne nearly made it two in the second half Sunderland slumped to their fifth straight defeat the Black Cats will play Coventry in the play-off semi-finals while QPR with manager Marti Cifuentes on gardening leave Sunderland boss Regis Le Bris said in the build-up his players were "raring to go" after a challenging run of results as he's rotated and rested his squad in time for the post-season losing much of the early-season magic which had propelled them into the top four QPR looked the more dangerous of the two with midfielder Madsen taking the initiative for the visitors A beautiful passing move that tore apart Sunderland's midfield ended with Newcastle loanee Harrison Ashby sending in a ball from the right-hand side which ended up at the Dane's feet to smash into the top right-hand corner Sunderland looked to respond soon after with Eliezer Mayenda and Luke O'Nien forcing saves out of Joe Walsh but from minute 20 onwards halting Sunderland's momentum going forward the hosts weren't as bright in the start of the second period and should have been 2-0 down at 57 minutes whipped in a dangerous ball from a free-kick that met the head of QPR's Jimmy Dunne only for the Irish international to nod the ball just wide Le Bris changed his formation heading into the last 15 minutes with the arrivals of Brighton-bound Tom Watson and striker Wilson Isidor off the bench and it did liven Sunderland's attack up with the former But it was too little too late for the Black Cats and Le Bris' understandable but also slightly risky strategy of rotation will be tested by a Coventry side entering the post-season with momentum after their win over Middlesbrough Sunderland manager Regis Le Bris told BBC Radio Newcastle: "It's the end of the testing period we had some good periods but we were not able to create danger in the final third "At the end of the game with many players in the box and crosses it was really difficult to find a solution "It was the case today in another scenario where we have to run after something but unfortunately we didn't find the solution." QPR interim manager Kevin Betsy told BBC Radio London: "It was a very unexpected week for us but the players showed a fantastic mentality from Tuesday's training sessions each day they were positive and their application was outstanding "If you have the right training week it sets you up for a decent performance on a Saturday We delivered an outstanding performance and result." "The football club will take time to look at what they want to do going forward and there will be a few reviews and then the staff will get a well-deserved break "We will wait for the phone to say whether we are wanted at the club or not It is the nature of first-team football - if you want security and regularity in your life then maybe do a different job."

The Kirkcaldy side had to win and hope Partick Thistle lost to overtake the Glasgow side into fourth place, but the Firhill side won 1-0 away to title hopefuls Livingston. Rovers broke the deadlock four minutes before the break when Lewis Vaughan's shot deflected into the path of Callum Fordyce and the centre-back fired home. Striker Vaughan extended the lead three minutes later from the penalty spot. Sebastian Drozd pulled one back five minutes after the break, the winger gathering a long ball and volleying home. Vaughan restored the two-goal advantage just short of the hour mark when he stole the ball from goalkeeper Milosz Sliwinski, rounded the 17-year-old and tapped in his second of the night. Midfielder Dylan Easton fired the fourth from penalty spot 74 minutes, with substitute forward Aiden Marsh breaking through to add the finishing touch with six minutes remaining. While Rovers stay fifth, Queen's Park end the season third bottom and after a dismal 12-game run without a victory.

QUEEN’S PARK paraded the Reserve League trophy at Hampden pre-match – and then fielded several of the B team winner in the first-team that went down 5-1 to Raith Rovers in the season finale The Spiders were already safe from relegation after Hamilton’s appeal against a 15-point punishment was dismissed on Thursday But Raith were on the hunt for the promotion play-offs and ruthlessly took their chances – and two from the penalty spot – but were still denied fourth place by Partick Thistle They faced a Spiders team captained by Louis Longridge in the absence of Calum Ferrie with 17-year-old Milosz Sliwinski in goals and fellow B-team starlets Aiden McGinlay and Timam Scott starting The winger told QPTV he was loving the first team experience and exciting the fans – and he did just that drawing their acclaim early on with some clever footwork to hold off two Raith players on the right wing It was Timam’s first start at Hampden but there would later be a big homecoming return for one of his team-mates who’d waited almost a year to get back from injury As bright a start as it had been for the Spiders it was Raith who went closest after ten minutes Paul Hanlon racing by Adam Devine and crossing low for Will Tizzard to hack out of the six-yard area.Debutant Sliwinski had shown early confidence with his feet but he made a good stop to deny Dylan Easton next when Scott was penalised on the edge of the area of course were chasing the fourth and stepped up the pressure – though Queen’s broke and a lofted ball from Louis Longridge found Adam Montgomery who collided with Josh Rae on the by-line as he went close for the home side Dylan Easton sent a drive straight at Sliwinski on the half-hour mark but the keeper was eventually beaten ten minutes later He punched a corner clear then beat out a follow-up strike from Shaun Byrne but it was third time lucky for Raith as Callum Fordyce forced the ball into the net Queen’s Park heeded the warning but were still punished again three minutes later.They were more alert to the danger as Raith overloaded the box again and Sliwinski was again to the fore – making a quick-fire hat-trick of saves but in the melee Louis Longridge was adjudged to have tripped Jamie Gullan and ref Ryan Lee pointed to the spot Lewis Vaughan scored from the spot to send Rovers two up – but their promotion rivals Partick were also ahead at the interval Adam Devine was replaced by Joseph Smith for another debut in the QP ranks but early in the second half it was McGinley’s turn to turn on the style The Raith defence couldn’t deny Seb Drozd two minutes later though The goal-scorer of the season’s – or maybe the century’s – most memorable Queen’s Park goal took a Louis Longridge pass in his stride juggled it on his knee twice and then volleyed under Rae to reduce the deficit It was Drozd’s second in as many weeks but Lewis Vaughan netted his second of the match when he charged down a Sliwinski clearance for Rovers’ third Loanee Kyle Hurst made his final appearance before returning to Doncaster and his Spiders’ swansong off the bench almost came with a goal as he waltzed through the Rovers defence just after the hour-mark but was blocked off at close-range At 3-1 down Queen’s Park were still pressing and Roddy MacGregor showed great control to pull a Longridge pass out of the sky but the shot was tame and straight at Rae The comeback was killed off though when the referee handed Raith another penalty but only after heavy hesitation as Lewis Vaughan went down alongside Will Tizzard Easton denied Vaughan his hat-trick by scoring the spot-kick and QP interim assistant Sean Crighton was booked for protests in the technical area The home fans were just as aggrieved as the Spiders’ staff but they were all on their feet to welcome Charlie Fox back for his first action since his knee injury against Celtic in July A 15-minute cameo was more than he expected but he was immediately in the mix at the top end of the park though neither he nor Louis Longridge could force the ball beyond Rae Queen’s kept going and Seb Drozd raced clear to flash a low strike across goal but Raith rounded off the scoring with Aiden Marsh in the 85th minute In the end it counted for little in the league table Partick Thistle held their lead at Livingston to take fourth place – a result that rubber-stamped Falkirk as champions That left Raith in fifth and Queen’s Park match last season’s finish in eighth 246 CommentsQueens Park Rangers have put manager Marti Cifuentes on gardening leave

slick passing move on nine minutes Cullen started and finished a fine team move as captain Josh Brownhill's through ball nutmegged Jack Colback and found Cullen before he rolled the ball with precision past Paul Nardi for his second goal of the season Connor Roberts had the ball in the net again for the visitors with a smart finish but had just strayed offside The second goal came shortly after through another scintillating team move from front to back Luca Koleosho ran down the right before pulling the ball back to Roberts whose goalbound shot was well blocked by Jimmy Dunne who crashed in via a deflection off Dunne on the line as Burnley took a fully-deserved two-goal lead The rampant Clarets made it three-nil before the half-hour mark as Flemming headed in his second from Brownhill's cross from the edge of the box He headed in again shortly later but Jaidon Anthony had been unable to keep the ball in play before he cut it back for the Dutchman to nod in Ronnie Edwards had to be at full stretch to prevent a fourth after Nardi gave the ball away On a rare occasion the hosts did get forward the Clarets defenders showed great desire to get back in numbers and snuff out the danger Despite an improved performance after the half-time introductions of Ilias Chair and Michael Frey QPR couldn't find a way through Clarets goalkeeper James Trafford who has now equalled the record for most clean sheets in a season in the top four English leagues with 29 Sarmiento added a fourth moments after coming off the bench as the Ecuadorian's shot deflected beyond Nardi Trafford got down to well to save Colback's goalbound effort as Burnley fought to preserve their clean sheet Nathan Redmond came off the bench for just his third appearance of the season to set up Sarmiento for his second - and Burnley's fifth - in added time Burnley boss Scott Parker told BBC Radio Lancashire: "It was a classy performance - I thought we were excellent We were pretty ruthless and I asked for that full of excitement and joy and a bit of relief as well "We needed to switch that mindset and become this ruthless animal that we've been for large parts this year - we were superb." QPR head coach Marti Cifuentes [on speculation over his future]: "I said before that as long as I'm wanted "The way the fans have been supporting me it makes me feel that I want to give them something back even more than the last two seasons "In any case I am very calm about the job I have done and the fact that we have achieved what were difficult targets "I'm an ambitious person in the sense that I always push myself I have a contract and I want to keep improving "I've said that the support from the fans that I've got this season is something that I have never seen before and will stay with me forever "That's why I'm very sad today It doesn't define what this team has done this season and it's very sad to finish that way."

President of the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies David Ossip said he was “appalled and saddened” to learn of the latest vandalism attack. “It is unacceptable that Jewish Australians and Australians of all backgrounds have had to wake up yet again and see messages of hate prominently displayed in their neighbourhood,” he said. “It is intolerable that Australians are having to go to bed fearful that their cars or properties will be defaced overnight with antisemitic hate speech. “We cannot allow ourselves to become desensitised to acts of Jew-hatred and allow illegal conduct such as this to become normalised.” Mr Ossip said laws must be tightened to “more effectively deal with hate speech and incitement to violence” amid the spate of antisemitic incidents. “Individuals who commit crimes must be identified and face the full force of the law,” he said. The crime spree in Sydney’s eastern suburbs comes one month after the firebombing terrorist attack of Melbourne’s Adass Israel Synagogue on December 6 as worshippers began arriving for morning prayer on the eve of Sabbath. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese condemned the graffiti as he addressed the media from Gympie, where he announced $7.2 billion in additional funding to fix the Bruce Highway in Queensland.  "There is no tolerance for antisemitism in Australia, from my government, nor should there be tolerance from anyone else," he said. "Antisemitism is a scourge, and any event such as this, targeting people because of who they are is not the Australian values that I hold dear, and the Australian values that are held dear by overwhelmingly Australians." Co-CEO of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry Alex Ryvchin posted an image of the vandalised car to X on Monday morning as he hit out at “endless incitement”. “Sydney. Again. Another suburb with a large Jewish community and multiple Jewish communal facilities,” he wrote. “No one just vandalises a car with a racist slogan. “It is the product of endless incitement, demonisation and a belief that such attitudes are freely permitted, even celebrated.” Queens Park is a small suburb about five kilometres east of the Sydney CBD.  have a relatively stress-free end to the season with Queens Park Rangers sitting on the magical 50-points mark and Preston just one point off it The two sides meet at Deepdale on Friday (15:00 BST) having both taken six points from their past six games Preston have lost each of their past two home league games against QPR one more than in their previous 16 games (W8 D7) QPR have won five of their past seven league games against Preston (L2) including each of their previous three encounters with the Lilywhites Preston are unbeaten in their past eight home league games on Good Friday (W4 D4) beating Rotherham 3-0 at Deepdale last season Since a 1-0 win at Watford in the top flight in April 1988 QPR are winless in their last four away league games on Good Friday (D2 L2) Only Coventry City (22) have scored more Championship goals from crosses this season than QPR (14) with three of their past six league goals coming via crosses Watch World Snooker Championship final: Zhao six frames ahead against Williams Our Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles., opens new tab , opens new tab Browse an unrivalled portfolio of real-time and historical market data and insights from worldwide sources and experts. , opens new tabScreen for heightened risk individual and entities globally to help uncover hidden risks in business relationships and human networks. © 2025 Reuters. All rights reserved A real estate agency that listed a three-bedroom apartment above a daycare centre has spoken out after Aussies slammed the series of 'inconvenient' demands on the ad - as an investigation is launched on behalf of the kindergarten The unit in Queens Park, near Bondi Junction in Sydney's eastern suburbs, was listed online this week by Wills Property for a 'lower' rate of $950-a-week. In return for the discounted rent, tenants will need to complete a list of tasks for the kindergarten downstairs and abide by strict opening and closing hours.  Renters can only access the unit through the centre and are not allowed to enter, exit or have guests while the daycare is open from 7.45am to 5.45pm on weekdays.  The listing states tenants will need to clear out leaves, sticks and gumnuts from the playground twice a week, water the gardens, put out their bins and tidy the 'front area' monthly. Guests, pets and smoking are also not allowed with 'more details and information' to be provided to applicants at an inspection that was initially scheduled for Saturday.  However, following multiple complaints and media inquiries into the listing it has since been removed from real estate websites. Real estate agent John Wills told Daily Mail Australia he has been forced to contact the police after Wills Property was inundated with 'disturbing' calls and messages.  'These communications to us have grown increasingly disturbing over the last 48 hours, prompting us to notify the police,' he said. 'We were advised by the police to reach out to the makers of the original posts and to ask them to take the posts down.  'We followed the police's advice and, in attempting to reach the makers of these posts, we used only publicly available information.  'We have received and continue to receive threats, but categorically deny having made any threats in turn, including threats to commence any legal action.  'We are taking the matter seriously and can confirm that we are no longer managing the property. 'Wills Property regrets that this matter has been allowed to blow out of all proportion.' The NSW Department of Education confirmed to Daily Mail Australia an investigation had been launched. 'We are investigating concerns about a Bondi service and a rental property advertisement,' a spokesperson said. 'Our priority is the health, safety and wellbeing of children.' Daily Mail Australia understands the department received several complaints regarding the real estate listing and its proximity to the kindergarten.   The unit was listed for rent in 2016 before it was withdrawn, according to property records. It reappeared on the rental market in December, 2017, but was again withdrawn. In December, 2019, it was listed again and a lease was signed. The unit hit the market most recently on August 29, 2024.  Aussies were quick to share their thoughts on the property, saying the cheaper price wasn't enough to justify the list of demands. 'If I was a parent whose children attends that kindergarten, I would be mortified,' one user wrote, adding: 'This is so alarming'. Another said they wouldn't know what to do if they were sent home from work early. 'Imagine if I had to hang out somewhere else for the rest of the day because I wasn't allowed home,' they wrote.

Ellie Gugula has skipped the last few weeks of school, but she’s had a pretty great excuse The 13-year-old Barrie girl has instead been spending her days as a page in the Ontario Legislature at Queen's Park in Toronto Currently in Grade 8 at West Bayfield Elementary School in the city’s north end she said a teacher recommended the program — which provides Ontario students an opportunity to experience the provincial legislature — and she knew she’d be perfect for it so this would be really good on a resume or application to a university or college," Gugula said.  Gugula started her term as a page two weeks ago returning April 28 after the legislature returned from a one-week break and typically doesn’t end until after 6 p.m. during which time she and her fellow pages have the chance to meet key parliamentary and political figures and learn first-hand about Ontario’s parliament and the legislative process Gugula said when she first heard she had been selected that she was “in shock.” “I didn’t really know how to respond Gugula has put in countless hours learning the names of MPPs and which riding they represent as well as learning the history of the legislative process.  you can just walk behind the (Speaker’s) dais and there is a seating chart if you’re looking for someone to deliver papers to or if you’re delivering water you just have to remember where they are,” she said “There is a test about a week in that is about half of your overall mark was some of the behaviour she’s witnessed in the house These are full grown adults heckling like children almost.” “It’s awesome,” said Gugula admitting she had a difficult time putting into words exactly how much she’s enjoying it Getting to know the other pages has been one of the best parts of the whole experience “They’re really kind and are similar to me so I can really relate to things they talk about Just seeing it all happen … that’s where they make the laws of Ontario The teen says she hopes to pursue a career in criminal law and hopes to one day toss her hat into the political arena saying she feels that she would have a lot to offer “I feel like so much more that could happen in the government of Ontario and and I feel like I could really contribute to that … and I am interested in serving the community," she said.  is beyond proud of the commitment her daughter has shown both leading up to her time in Toronto and during she’s been studying for weeks,” Collins said “Even during the application process … she initially applied in Grade 7 In order to get in she has to have strong marks "That piece of the perseverance of applying last year putting in the time at school … and being here and doing it as parents we are just so proud of her," she added.  Collins said while she expects it will take her daughter a little bit of time to fully absorb her experience she’s confident she will walk away with a lot of new skills that will serve her well into her future.  “What she’s gotten out of it is pretty incredible,” Collins said “She’s learning discipline in having to fulfil the responsibilities and be part of the process is something she will definitely take with her is a pretty incredible skill to learn that I think she can apply in any job as she gets older."

Queen’s Park rediscovered their scoring touch at Somerset Park and all but secured their place in next season’s William Hill Championship The Spiders came from a goal behind to lead 2-1 through strikes from Seb Drozd and Roddy MacGregor before being pulled back in the second half and settling for a point It could have been three for Steven MacLean’s side who have gone 11 games without a win and 493 minutes without a goal That all changed when Drozd squeezed in an equaliser after 22 minutes of the match and significant disruption to the Spiders’ team Interim head coach MacLean had named the same starting XI which performed so well in gaining a point at Hamilton with Drozd leading the line and heavily involved from the start The forward went into the book in the ninth minute – losing his footing in a slide challenge which took out both Ayr’s Nick McAllister and team-mate Ryan Duncan However the on-loan Aberdeen player came off worst and had to be stretchered off the Somerset Park surface in some discomfort forcing Steven MacLean into an unexpectedly early change Miscommunication on the edge of the box with Drozd then denied early substitute Louis Longridge a strike at goal – and the confusion was punished immediately Ayr raced up the Queen’s right wing and a deep cross to the backpost found Dylan Watret His powerful shot was brilliantly stopped by Callum Ferrie – as he has done so many times this season He pulled another off in the second half however the  rebound to this one was seized by Jamie Murphy and driven over the line for the opener However the Spiders duo would make up for their earlier mix-up by striking the equaliser for Queen’s Park Ibrox goal hero Drozd tucked in a cut-back from Longridge just inside Josh Clarke’s post from the edge of the box to register Queen’s Park’s first goal since Morton on March 22 and Drozd’s first since his famous Scottish Cup strike againstRangers and it showed with a lift in performance too Sean Welsh almost picked out the blind-side ruin of Timam Scott three minutes later and the Spiders suddenly had the impetus after the disappointment of falling behind Their right-wing route bore fruit on the half-hour when a brilliantly worked goal clicked into gear – in a move started and finished by Roddy MacGregor Scott raced onto a driven ball across the pitch by the midfielder and chased the lost cause all the way to the by-line Keeping the ball in play he sent a pass into the penalty area and the run of Aiden McGinlay The on-coming Spiders’ starlet stepped over the pass to fool Josh Clarke and left MacGregor with a neat finish into the corner but the home end was furious when ref Sean Murdoch denied Ayr captain Ben Dempsey a shot at Ferrie’s goal shortly before the break and Dempsey continued to remonstrate for the remainder of the first half Ayr pulled one back after it though when Mark McKenzie headed in after an extended period of pressure from the home side – though Will Tizzard had cause for complaint claiming he was pushed over as the Ayr striker equalised However the goal stood and Queen’s refused to let their heads go down Scott turned on the style before he was subbed on the hour-mark for Jack Turner in a triple substitution from Steven MacLean with Zak Rudden and Grant Savoury also added for McGinlay and Drozd However it was Ayr sub George Oakley who threatened next and brought a brilliant save from Ferrie on 70 minutes after beating Ben Jackson in the air In terms of chances that was the final one as both sides played out the remaining 20 minutes in midfield Rocco Hickey-Fugaccia replaced Roddy MacGregor after an all-action shift in midfield and his goal proved important in adding another point into the Queen’s Park column of the Championship table The Spiders are safe from automatic relegation and still level with seventh placed Dunfermline who are two goals better off in goal difference  All that is pending Hamilton’s 15-point deduction however with an appeal hearing against the punishment scheduled for Thursday May 1 – the penultimate day of the Championship season Ayr United came from two goals behind to beat Queen's Park and stay in touch at the top of the Scottish Championship. After a goalless first half, Jack Turner put the hosts in front before Zak Rudden added a second five minutes later, with both goals created by Ryan Duncan. However, Scott Brown's Ayr were unfazed and launched a magnificent comeback. Marco Rus beat home goalkeeper Calum Ferrie to make it 2-1 and then turned provider for Ben Dempsey who swept home an equaliser. Then, with 11 minutes to go, Curtis Main headed home Rus' cross to complete a dramatic turnaround. Ayr move above Livingston into second and trail league-leaders Falkirk - who beat bottom side Airdrieonians 3-0 on Tuesday - by three points.

Logan Chalmers' stunning volley after just five minutes gave Thistle the perfect start at Hampden against their Glasgow rivals. Chalmers thought he had doubled Thistle's lead after the break, but his second strike was ruled out for offside. However, the winger raced through in stoppage time to tee up Alex Jakubiak to score his first Thistle goal since signing last month, which sealed victory. The Maryhill side, led by striker Brian Graham as interim player-manager alongside former Celtic defender Mark Wilson, stay fourth in the final play-off berth. However, they are now seven points clear of Morton and Raith Rovers, who both have a game in hand.

Swansea caretaker head coach Alan Sheehan: "I thought for the first 70 minutes of the game we were very strong I thought there was only one team in the ascendancy going for the third and potentially got a bit too comfortable Then they score and for the last 15-20 minutes we have to show our defensive structure "I wouldn't say [it was] bodies on the line because I don't think Vigs (Lawrence Vigouroux) had many saves to make They were going for the equaliser but they didn't get it and I think we very much deserved it "I think it would have been a travesty if we didn't go out of here with three points after the first 70 minutes."
