Everton 1–0. International At the end of the 1973–74 season McQueen was called up to the Scotland squad and made his international debut versus Belgium. A year later he had become a regular for the national team; he was selected for the 1978 FIFA World Cup squad for Argentina, although he could not play due to injury. He played his last match for Scotland in 1981, gaining 30 caps and scoring five goals, including two in the space of four days against Northern Ireland at Hampden Park then England at Wembley as the Scots claimed the 1976–77 British Home Championship. Post playing career McQueen coached abroad before he was the manager of Airdrieonians for a short spell, before coaching at his first club St Mirren. When McQueen's friend and former team-mate Bryan Robson was appointed the manager of Middlesbrough, McQueen joined him as reserve-team coach. He held this position for five years, and was then a first-team coach for two years. McQueen left the Teesside club in June 2001, following the departure of Robson and the appointment of Steve McClaren. McQueen then joined Sky Sports as a pundit. On 29 April 2008, McQueen had returned to Boro as assistant scout, alongside David Mills. Personal life Since coaching Middlesbrough, McQueen and his wife have lived in the village of Hutton Rudby, North Yorkshire. The couple have a son and two daughters, including Hayley who is a sports journalist on Sky Sports and the Red Devils TV channel MUTV. Politically, McQueen is a Labour supporter. In October 2011, McQueen was diagnosed with cancer of the larynx and started treatment at the James Cook University Hospital, Middlesbrough. In January 2021, McQueen was diagnosed with vascular dementia. This highlighted the issue of injuries caused to footballers by persistent heading of a ball.
