Ian McCall has been sacked from Partick Thistle following a Scottish Cup exit to Rangers.
The Scottish Championship side ran the Light Blues all the way at Ibrox before James Sands goal six minutes from time ensured Rangers progression to the quarter-finals. McCall had been manager at Firhill since 2019 after leaving Ayr United, and there were little question marks about his future despite back-to-back defeats to Hamilton and Cove prior to the trip across Glasgow, with the Jags sitting just one point off a play-off spot in their division.
However on Sunday evening a club statement confirmed his shock exit. It read: "Partick Thistle FC have this evening relieved Ian McCall, Alan Archibald and Neil Scally, of their duties in relation to the first team with immediate effect. The club would like to place on record it’s sincere appreciation to all three for their contributions to Partick Thistle over many years.
