Davidson, who famously led St Johnstone to a League Cup/Scottish Cup double, said: “Callum is joining Queen’s Park as he has great potential and I have liked what I have seen from him on the training pitch. He sees the club as a suitable place to develop.

“He is still maturing, but he has the opportunity to show everyone that he has what it takes to become a full-time professional footballer.”
