IAN McCALL has hailed the importance of Partick Thistle’s Stuart Bannigan after a testimonial for the long-serving midfielder was announced earlier this week.
A product of Thistle’s academy, the 29-year-old – who celebrates his 30th birthday tomorrow when the Jags host Cove Rangers – has only ever played for Thistle, barring a loan spell at Somerset Park at the outset of his career.
