Paton has developed into a right back, a position that ex-Queens manager John Connolly favoured the former right sided midfielder in. However his versatility has also seen him deployed on the right-back of a midfield five, just inside the wide left man and at left back.

Paton joined Dundee in June 2008, after he signed a pre-contract agreement with the club on 24 January 2008.[1] On 15 October 2010, Paton had his contract terminated by Dundee, a victim of the club entering administration.[2]

gollark: I mean, all it really has to do is HTTP-request a URL every 5 minutes or so, see if it works, run a webserver with this, possibly send another HTTP request (webhÖok) if it fails, and... aggregate historical uptime statistics somehow.
gollark: I could probably do it, but apiaries.
gollark: Am I SERIOUSLY going to have to write my own status page implementation?
gollark: Although I did have to mess with some config to make it crosscompile right.
gollark: ircsysmon, my trivial nim program for IRC-based system monitoring (it made sense at the same time), takes about 10 seconds at most to crosscompile.
