PARTICK THISTLE manager Alan Archibald and his assistant Scott Paterson have agreed new three-year deals to stay at Firhill.
“Alan and Scott have done an incredible job since taking over midway through our promotion season," said chairman David Beattie.
"Every season since, we have challenged them to drive the team forward and achieve more in the league with what other teams would regard as restricted resources. Every season, they have achieved what we have asked of them. "Undoubtedly, there have been bumps in the road, but both Alan and Scott have taken everything in their stride and risen to the challenges very effectively.
“No-one should be in any doubt that Partick Thistle means business. Following three and half years of constant progress, growth and development, we are now in a stable position to build something really special here over the next three seasons.
"Not only do Alan and Scott have the Board’s full backing, but we will also give them all the resource we can to ensure we go one step better next season and grab a top six spot with both hands.”
Managing Director Ian Maxwell has also signed a new three-year deal.
“Football is a team game both on and off the pitch," said Beattie. "Archie and Scott couldn’t do what they do without the support of Ian."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
