Partick Thistle Football Club is delighted to announce that Ian McCall has agreed to return to Firhill to become the club’s first-team manager.
Ian, who served as Thistle manager from 2007 to 2011, will be supported by assistant managers Alan Archibald – also returning to the club – and Neil Scally, who he worked with at Ayr United. The new management team will take training for the first time tomorrow ahead of our Betfred Cup quarter-final at Celtic Park on Wednesday evening.
The club would like to place on record its thanks to Ayr United FC and its chairman Lachlan Cameron for the professional manner by which they have handled matters since we first requested permission to talk to Ian.
A club media conference to unveil the new management team will be held at 4pm this afternoon at The Energy Check at Firhill Stadium.
We’ll have an exclusive chat with Ian, free-to-view, on ptfc.co.uk later this afternoon.
