Rivals
Despite being located midway between Celtic and Rangers, Queen's Park's long resistance to professionalism has resulted in not having competed in the same division as them for long periods of time, and thus turning to rivals in lower divisions, such as Partick Thistle, Clyde and Albion Rovers. However, the forced relegation of Rangers to the Scottish 3rd division for the 2012/13 season has prompted the renewal of what is known as the 'Original Glasgow Derby' The two clubs first competed in March 1879 – nine years before the first derby between Celtic and Rangers.

“What poet would not grieve to see
His brother write as well as he?
But rather than they should excel,
He’d wish his rivals all in Hell.”
