Queen's Park 'launch' Barry Hepburn Bayern Munich bid with ex-Celtic starlet set for loan exit

Queen's Park are ready to launch an ambitious loan move for Barry Hepburn from Bayern Munich, according to a report.

The former Celtic kid is currently part of the Bayern Munich II set-up but is set for a loan period away from the Bundesliga giants in order to get first-team minutes under his belt. The Daily Record state he is set for a return to Scotland and that could be in the Scottish Championship with the Spiders.

New boss Robin Veldman is working on a number of deals as he bids to put his stamp on his new club and get them ready for another push in the second tier next season. Owen Coyle departed at the end of last season with his men going all the way to the league season finale with Dundee in the race for the title.

But the Dark Blues won a rollercoaster clash to clinch the title and promotion back to the Scottish Premiership before Queen's Park took a hammering from Partick Thistle over two legs in the play-off route before the Jags eventually lost out to Ross County in the final.

Hepburn, 19, came through the ranks at the Scottish champions before making the move to Germany back in 2020.

On his arrival at Queen's Park, new boss Veldman said: “From the first moment I contacted the club I got a warm feeling. Both Queen’s Park and I are hungry to perform well.

"Last season the club was close to promotion, but our goal is to achieve success with attractive, dominant football. That’s what we’re going for.

"The vision to field young players, in an attractive playing style, appeals to me enormously.”
