Teenage striker Ricco Diack is to join William Hill Championship club Airdrieonians on loan until the end of the 2024/25 season.
The 19-year-old stepped up from Partick Thistle’s Youth Academy in the summer of 2023 having made his debut as a substitute against Hamilton Academical in the January of the same year.
Ricco’s first start came in December 2023, and he made an instant impact as he found the net after just seven minutes against Airdrieonians in what turned into a 2-1 win for the Jags.
Last season saw further goals scored against Morton and the Diamonds with Ricco, who has a contract with Partick Thistle until 2027, chipping in with a strike in this campaign when Edinburgh City were seen off 6-0 in the Premier Sports Cup.
So far, the frontman has made four Thistle starts and 29 substitute appearances with The Wyre Stadium at Firhill manager Kris Doolan saying:
“This is a great opportunity for Ricco to get serious game time under his belt in what we know is a very competitive league. Playing in the Championship means that we can very easily keep an eye on his development.”
