Queen's Park have parted company with head coach Robin Veldman after a 4-1 home defeat by Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the Scottish Championship.

An 11th game without a win and third straight defeat had left the Dutchman's side third from bottom.

They led through Jack Turner's strike, but Max Anderson soon levelled.

And second-half goals by Nikola Ujdur, David Wotherspoon and a Billy Mckay penalty secured an impressive victory that moves the visitors up to sixth.

Visiting manager Duncan Ferguson was shown a red card, but he will be consoled the fact the Highlanders have lost only once in nine games since he was appointed.

Veldman, a former assistant manager with Anderlecht, took charge on a three-year contract this summer after the departure of Owen Coyle, the Scot having led his side to the promotion play-offs.

However, the 37-year-old's fellow Dutchman, Marijn Beuker, left his role as director of football last month to take up a similar position with Ajax.
