Queen’s Park have announced they will spend a week in the Netherlands to prepare for their 2022/23 Championship campaign.

The Spiders, who secured promotion from SPFL League One after beating Dunfermline in the Play-Off Final over two legs, will head to a training complex in Arnhem on Sunday, June 26.

Owen Coyle will take his first-team squad and a number of academy youngsters on the trip, where they have three pre-season friendlies lined up against European opposition.

A club statement read: “Our players return for pre-season on Friday 17 June. After two days of testing, the group will train the first week in Glasgow, before heading off to The Netherlands for a week’s intensive training and a number of friendlies against European opposition.

“A group of 30 players will travel to Holland from Sunday 26 June to Sunday 3 July, where they will stay in a hotel near Arnhem.

“The team will train at the training facility close to the hotel, at the ‘Renkumse Voetbalvereniging Wilhelmina’ with three full size pitches at their disposal.”
