Graham and Wilson confirmed as Partick Thistle coaching team until end of season

Partick Thistle have announced that interim management team Brian Graham and Mark Wilson will remain in place until the end of the season.

Graham and Wilson were asked to step up and take charge of first team affairs when club legend Kris Doolan was sacked in mid-February.

Since then, the team are unbeaten in six matches, having won three and drawn three to maintain fourth position in the league table. The side is still on course to make the promotion play-offs and the interim management team will now aim to continue their unbeaten run through the remaining five scheduled games and any play-off games.

Club chairman Richard Beastall said: “Brian and Mark have gone about managing the team well and the players have responded to them by delivering strong performances.

“When you appoint an interim management team there is always a period of uncertainty over how long they will be in place, and we are glad to remove that uncertainty for the rest of the season.

“Having Brian and Mark in place has allowed the club to take their time over the crucial appointment of a Sporting Director and we are hoping to confirm that appointment this week.”
