Partick Thistle manager Ian McCall has left his post today, with Jackie MacNamara taking over to the end of the season.

Ian McCall has resigned as manager of Partick Thistle, with Jackie McNamara taking over on a caretaker basis until the end of the season.

 

"This has been the most difficult decision I've ever had to make," McCall told the First Division club's website.

 

"Living in the West End of Glasgow, Partick Thistle FC has been a huge part of my life."

 

McCall, who arrived at Firhill in May 2007, leaves with the Jags sitting in sixth place

in the table.

 

Former Celtic and Scotland full-back McNamara, 37, joined Thistle from Falkirk last year.

 

McCall had previously had reasonable success with Queen of the South, Airdrie before stepping up to the SPL with Dundee Utd.

 

He was held up as one of the top young coaches and was often linked with many of the top jobs, and it will be interesting to see how his career goes from here…..
