Sir Alex Ferguson congratulated Queen's Park boss Ray McKinnon on title win

Former Queen's Park boss Ray McKinnon revealed legendary former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson congratulated him on winning the League Two title this season.

McKinnon, who has stepped down from the Spiders hot seat, was named Scottish League Two Glen's Manager of the Season, having led Queen's Park comfortably to the title, despite the winter lockdown putting the campaign on pause for nearly three months.

Queen's Park finished 16 points of second-placed Edinburgh City, only losing twice all season.

And he said receiving a personal letter from Sir Alex, who started his playing career with Queen's Park, was the icing on the cake.

McKinnon said: "It is an honour to receive the Scottish League Two Glen's Manager of the Season award.

"We've never seen a season like this before, and hopefully we won't again!

"But the whole squad did incredibly well to stay motivated and keep banking the points in our pursuit of the title.

"To lose only two games in 22 matches is testament to their hard work.

"On a personal level, to top off a great season, I was proud to receive a personal letter from Sir Alex Ferguson, congratulating me on winning the title."

Colin Matthews, CEO of Glen's owners the Loch Lomond Group, said: "The 2020-21 season was completely bizarre, given all games were put on pause for nearly three months as a result of the pandemic.

"But Ray McKinnon did a brilliant job, keeping his squad motivated and leading them to the league title.

"He fully deserves the Scottish League Two Glen's Manager of the Season award."
