Management

The club began the 2015–16 season under the management of James Fowler and he remained in charge until 18 April 2016, when he left the club by mutual consent, two days after a 2-2 draw at already relegated Alloa Athletic. Queens objective was to finish in fourth and reach the play-offs for the third consecutive season. Gavin Skelton, who had been Fowler's assistant, was appointed caretaker manager alongside ex-club captain Jim Thomson, for the final two league matches of the season.[3]
