Kris Doolan insists the agony of suffering Premiership relegation through the play-offs is driving him on to make history and take Partick Thistle back to the top.
The club’s record scorer was still leading the line for Alan Archibald’s side in 2018 and netted the opener as the Jags stormed into the lead against Championship Livingston. But the Lions roared back to win both legs for a 3-1 aggregate victory that condemned Thistle to relegation.
Now in the manager’s seat Doolan is determined to erase that painful memory in this week’s double header with Ross County and become the first side to win the end of season drama after finishing fourth in the Championship. He said: “It was hard as it was the club I Iove and we ended up going down. But the flip side was what I learned in those experiences and hopefully they can help our players ahead of what is coming and how to deal with it.
