Scott Brown in Queen's Park manager frame as Celtic hero chased by Championship strugglers alongside Charlie Mulgrew

Queen's Park are interested in talking to Scott Brown and Charlie Mulgrew over their vacant managerial position.

The Spiders have begun the search for a new manager after they sacked Robin Veldman on Saturday night. The ambitious side are now considering their next move but the former Celtic and Scotland pair are both of interest. Brown has been out of work since he left Fleetwood Town earlier this season.

Record Sport revealed last week that Brown is of interest to Sunderland, who are looking for a successor to Tony Mowbray. Former Celtic and Aberdeen skipper Brown has had managerial interest from Scotland since he has been out of work but his preference has been to return to a job in England. Queen’s however have big financial backing and could make a persuasive case to bring the 38-year-old to Lesser Hampden.

Mulgrew is looking to take his first steps into management. The 37-year-old left Dundee United earlier in the season and has since hung up his boots.

Former Dundee boss Gary Bowyer who led the Dark Blues to the Championship title last season could also come into the equation. Queen’s Park took Veldman from Anderlecht but the move hasn’t really worked.

The writing was on the wall when his sporting director Marijan Beuker left for Ajax last week. Veldman’s final stand was the weekend thrashing from Inverness that left Queen’s third bottom of the table.
