PARTICK THISTLE have signed Montrose forward Blair Lyons on a two-and-a-half-year deal, with the 23-year-old going back to the League One club on loan for the remainder of the season.
Lyons, who can play up front or on either wing, has seven goals and six assists to his name this season.
Thistle will be pleased to have secured Lyons' signature with St Mirren, Dundee United and Dundee all reportedly interested in the forward.
"I'm thankful it's finally done," Lyons told Jagzone. "It took a wee while but Partick showed faith in me to make the move happen. I'm glad it's finally done.
"There were a few teams [interested] but thankfully this was the club that pushed it far enough to make it happen.
"Being from Glasgow, I've got a lot of friends who are Partick Thistle fans so I know what it means to play for the club. It was an easy decision in the end. This is the best place for me, especially with who the gaffer is, and I feel this is where I'll excel and play my best football."

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
