James "Jim" Thomson (born 15 May 1971 in Stirling) is a Scottish footballer currently playing for Queen of the South. He has previously played for Clyde, Stenhousemuir and Arbroath.
A central defender, Thomson has been player of the season three times over a ten year period for the Dumfries side.[1] In late August and early September 2006 he had a 'clean up' operation on his knee but has come back successfully, including scoring a spectacular overhead kick.
He made his 300th Queens appearance on the 20 October 2007 in a First Division match against St Johnstone. He is currently the club captain.
Jim Thomson captained Queens during the 2007/08 Scottish Cup 4 - 3 semi-final victory against Aberdeen. Thomson is the first man to captain Queens in a Scottish Cup semi-final victory. As well as captaining Queen in the final Thomson also scored Queens' equaliser to bring the game against Rangers to 2 - 2. Despite Queens' battling second half display Rangers eventually ran out 3 - 2 winners.
