Move to Queen's Park has reignited McParland's love for football
The narrative which will follow Tony McParland into Ibrox tomorrow is already well-rehearsed.
 Tony McParland is back enjoying football with Queen's Park after walking away from
the game altogether following a frustrating series of ill-fated moves. Picture: SNS
A young, hopeful player at Celtic, the midfielder failed to make the step up to the first team at Parkhead and has moved between a number of less auspicious clubs before coming to rest at Queen's Park. It is a career path which will seem familiar to many of those players who have found their way to lower league sides but the experience will still feel unique to McParland.
He had certainly felt alone on his way to the Irn-Bru third division – the pain of departing from Celtic seven years ago exacerbated by the bruises he received as he stumbled from Barnsley to Wycombe Wanderers to Livingston and then Queen of the South. A spell with junior club Arthurlie brought the final blow and McParland turned his back on football altogether. The ba' had burst and the 23-year-old was sick of trying to play on.

I thought he was a decent player when he was with us. Definitely done a job.

Did he not pack us in when we got relegated to the 3rd due to Massone?
I might be wrong but something tells me he was mibbe a wee bit too big for his boots. Aye, done a job, but hardly set the heather on fire.
