The club has historically resisted professionalism in the game; former professional players from other clubs were not allowed to play for Queen's Park and in 1890 the club refused to join the newly-formed Scottish League. The club also feared the League would dominate the game and cause the demise of smaller clubs. Six of the founder members of the League soon went out of existence.

Only under the influence of coach John McCormack did the club management allow players to come on loan from professional clubs. Although still amateur, the managers are now paid "honorariums".
Their stay in the SFL Second Division lasted only one season on that occasion and were relegated back to the basement division of Scottish Football for season 2001/02.
Coach McCormack lost most of his star turns from the previous two seasons as Queen's Park were forced to call on an extremely young squad to tackle the rigours of Division Three football.

2003/04 began with hopes of a stab at promotion and good form near the beginning of the season added fuel to these hopes.
