Archibald gets the nod at Thistle

Partick Thistle yesterday confirmed the appointment of Alan Archibald as manager on a permanent basis.

The 35-year-old has agreed a one-year rolling contract following a successful spell as interim manager, stepping in after Jackie McNamara left to take charge at Dundee United.

The Partick defender – who will continue to be assisted by Scott Paterson – helped maintain his side's ambitions of promotion during that time, with the Firhill club two points behind the Irn-Bru First Division leaders Morton with two games in hand.
