WHEN Stuart Bannigan made it 2-0 to Partick Thistle with around half an hour to go against Cove Rangers on Saturday, the midfielder was convinced he had capped off a near-perfect week in dream fashion – only for the Jags to surrender their lead in the last 10 minutes as Jim McIntyre's men battled back to snatch a point.
It’s been quite the few days for the long-serving midfielder. At the start of last week, it was announced that Bannigan would be receiving his testimonial. A few days later, it was revealed that he will be inducted into Thistle’s Hall of Fame. Then on Saturday, as he celebrated his 30th birthday, he appeared to have sealed a hard-fought win for the Jags.
