The Board of Partick Thistle Football Club are pleased to announce the appointment of two new skills-based directors, bringing fresh expertise to the club’s leadership team.
Jacqui McInnes joins as Finance Director, while Grant Russell will assist the club in the areas of Brand, Marketing and Communications.
Jacqui is a qualified ACCA accountant with an MBA, and currently serves as Director of Finance at The Glasgow Academy, an independent school at the heart of our community.
Passionate about supporting organisations that make a difference to their communities, she brings value to the Board through her strong financial governance experience and strategic thinking.
Grant is currently working in the English Premier League, and was previously Head of Brand, Digital, and Communications at fellow fan-owned club Motherwell FC.
Before moving into club football, he served as STV’s Sports News Correspondent. He brings a proven track record in building audiences, strengthening club identity, and turning supporter engagement into sustained commercial growth, which will help grow our fanbase and revenues in the years ahead.
“My fellow directors and I are delighted to bring Grant and Jacqui onto the Board,” club Chairman Richard Beastall said of the appointments.
“They add significant experience in two key areas for our future. Together, we will strengthen our foundations, embrace fresh ideas, and drive the club forward on and off the pitch. With their energy and vision, we are ready to seize the opportunities ahead.”
Both appointments remain subject to the necessary Scottish FA clearances.
