Partick Thistle have announced the signing of midfielder Cole McKinnon on a season-long loan deal from Rangers.
The 19-year-old arrives at Firhill following an impressive season as part of the Rangers B team where he competed in the Lowland League, UEFA Youth League and SPFL Trust Trophy.
McKinnon won the B team’s Players’ Player of the Season prize and was rewarded for his efforts with a full Rangers debut in a 3-1 win over Hearts at Tynecastle, scoring his first senior goal in the process.
Jags boss Ian McCall said: “Cole is a player who is very highly thought of at Rangers so we’re very happy to bring him in on loan for the season.
"He got a taste of playing Premiership football at the end of last season and impressed during that game but he knows that he’ll need to work extremely hard to get back to that position.
“We’ve spoken a lot about wanting plenty of competition in the squad and adding Cole brings more of that to the midfield. We’ve already got a lot of quality in the middle of the park so hopefully adding another talented midfielder only raises the levels further.”
