He joined Dumfries club Queen of the South in September 1973. A 100% player who could score goals, Reid was a success in his time with the Palmerston Park club. In his first season with the club, he scored 28 goals and in the next season, a further 26. Reid made 193 QoS first team appearances, scoring 89 goals. As well as Reid's goal scoring prowess, team mate Ian McChesney described Reid as, 'The player who made things tick'. Reid's Queens career came to an end in January 1977 when he was transferred for a fee of £4,000.[1] In the club's goal scoring chart his 89 goals place him 8th equal along with Jimmy Robertson.[2]
