He had just scored the goal that could send her club down.
But the text message that pinged from Dingwall didn’t surprise Partick Thistle striker Brian Graham. It was Susan from the kit department at Ross County. She messaged just after Thursday night’s relegation play-off first-leg that put a nail in the Staggies’ coffin. But even after the 2-0 loss to the Jags, Susan said she didn’t hold a grudge against the Partick hitman.
Graham spent three years at the Staggies and Susan was like his surrogate mum in the Highlands. And when he returns there today for the second leg, she’ll be the first person he looks out for. But it won’t stop Graham from potentially finishing the job to book promotion for Thistle. The veteran front-man admits it would hurt to see his old club drop into the Championship. But at 35, having enjoyed a stunning season at Firhill, he’s desperate for one last crack at the top flight.
