GLASGOW — As a lifelong fan, a historian, and a former president of Queen’s Park F.C., Jim Hastie has been to enough home games to notice the pattern. For most players and for most games, the warm-up is a chore to be completed, a box to tick before the real business of the game starts. When a team travels to Queen’s Park, though, it is different. They find myriad ways to spend as much time as possible on the field, savoring their surroundings, the moment. This is still a day Annan’s players will remember: the time they played at Hampden Park.
