Partick Thistle manager Ian McCall has been named as the 2020/21 Scottish League One Glen’s Manager of the Season.
After an exciting campaign which saw Thistle secure the League One trophy in thrilling fashion, the Jags gaffer has been awarded the League One Glen’s Manager of the Season award.
Thistle finished our season in style, winning six of our last eight matches to secure the title, sparking scenes of jubilation throughout Maryhill.
The gaffer has swept up the accolades in the final few weeks of the season, winning the Glen’s Manager of the Month for April and now the Glen’s Manager of the Season, in addition to his title winner’s medal.
Ian McCall, Partick Thistle Manager said:
“It is always a big honour to receive awards like this when it is judged over the entire length of a season. This award might have my name on it but it is entirely down to the hard work of all my backroom team and the players we have at Firhill. Without the support of everyone at Thistle, I wouldn’t be able to do what I do best and bring success to our club.
“This season has been one of the most bizarre seasons I have known in all my time that I have been managing football teams. I think all managers throughout Scotland deserve enormous praise for the way they have been able to go about their jobs under incredibly strange circumstances this season. Hopefully with everything that is progressing throughout the country we can all get a bit closer to something resembling normality next season.”
Colin Matthews, CEO of Glen’s owner the Loch Lomond Group, said:
“Ian McCall has done a fantastic job at Partick Thistle during what has been an incredibly difficult season. It’s clear that he managed to keep his squad well-motivated during the pause caused by lockdown, and they ended their season with an incredible run. They are the worthy champions, and Ian is the worthy recipient of the 2020/21 Scottish League One Glen’s Manager of the Season award.”
