According to Wiki he left us to play for Irvine Meadow before then joining Queens Park only to later return to Irvine Meadow where he remains currently.

The Jukebox Rebel Posted April 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 (edited) 28.04.2018 St Johnstone [a] D1-1 (SPFL Premiership - game 35)TIGHTENING MATHEMATICS For the 4th time this season, Thistle travel to McDiarmid Park to face Saints, thereby equalling the category record which was set in 1904-05 (vs. Celtic @ Celtic Park), repeated in 1947-48 (vs. Rangers @ Ibrox) and again in 2001-02 (vs. Inverness Caledonian Thistle @ Caledonian Stadium). For the first time since April Dools Day, 2017, Thistle list an unchanged 18 in terms of both the starting line-up and bench. Conor Sammon maintains his 100% spot-kick record, now 3-out-of-3, all coming in 2018. His most perfect predecessor, Sean Welsh, netted 5-out-of-5. The big Irishman becomes the first loanee in 12 years to register a double figures competitive goals tally season. Jukka Santala, who netted 11 times in season 2005-06, was the last man to do so. Thistle haven't missed a regulation time penalty since September 2014, and have scored 8-in-a-row since then. It's more than 5 years since a converted Thistle penalty contributed to a League win; the last was Aaron Muirhead's 19th minute spot-kick opener which set the Jags up for a 6-1 rout of Livingston way back on the 23rd March, 2013. With this stalemate, an unlikely H2H record sequence of 14 games without a draw ends. It's now mathematically impossible for Thistle to be safe from relegation before the final round of fixtures on match day 38. Only once in the last 100 years (2013-14) have Thistle failed to win back-to-back League games in a season; the class of 2017-18 have 3 games left to avoid being equally tagged with that very poor statistic. ongoing sequences: 7 competitive games without an away win, 3rd Feb 2018 to date. (Longest run since: 10 games; 19th Aug 2017 to 23rd Dec 2017. Club-record: 26 games; 28th Nov 1908 to 28th Aug 1909.) 14 consecutive competitive appearances for Baily Cargill, 23rd Jan 2018 to date.

Given that includes a close season of roughly three months, we were playing them effectively once every five weeks during the football season. If we somehow manage to go up a place and are in the play offs I hope we're matched against Livingston. Then if the worst was to happen we can at least console ourselves knowing we won't have to visit Almondvale (or whatever it's called this week) twice next season. 2 hours ago, The Jukebox Rebel said: 28.04.2018 St Johnstone [a] D1-1 (SPFL Premiership - game 35)TIGHTENING MATHEMATICS For the first time since April Dools Day, 2017, Thistle list an unchanged 18 in terms of both the starting line-up and bench.

Being a bit pedantic here, but I guess you mean safe from the playoff position. I think that if we beat County and Well, and County don’t win their midweek game vs Dundee ? we would be safe from relegation but could still finish 11th. dont know how I quoted LIB Edited April 30, 2018 by Lenziejag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With his 53rd goal in competitive action for the Jags, Squiddy rises into the All-Time Top 40 of our scorers chart. Baily Cargill retires injured in the 57th minute, thereby missing his first game time since joining the club in January. Thistle's yellow card count rises to 83 in competitive action this season, now the highest tally of the 21 seasons recorded by the great Jaggy database. Thistle have taken a single goal lead in 17 of their League games this season, but in the end have failed to win 10 of those matches, relinquishing 25 points all-told.

Not too aggrieved by Hibs away and Aberdeen and Celtic home, especially the Aberdeen game where we went behind and fought back to go ahead and then again to equalise before going down 4-3. It is of course the consecutive Dundee and Hamilton defeats which were really costly. Wins would have seen us not far from safe and even draws would put us bang into a 3 team battle to avoid the play offs and much more comfortably distant from automatic relegation.
