Michael Ruth, born on 8 January 2002 (age 24), is a Scottish striker whose senior career has taken shape at Queen's Park. He wears the number 9 and has been used primarily through the middle, with his record there giving the clearest picture of where he is in his development.
Across two league seasons with Queen's Park, Ruth has made 28 league appearances and scored six goals. His most productive league campaign so far came in 2025-2026, when he scored four times in 16 appearances.
In 2026-2027, he has made 12 Championship appearances and scored twice, alongside four League Cup appearances and two goals. That leaves him on 16 appearances and four goals for Queen's Park across all competitions this season.
Ruth is not a name with a Celtic connection attached to it; his profile is a more straightforward one. He is a developing Scottish centre-forward whose career, to this point, has been shaped mainly by regular football and modest returns at Queen's Park.
