Chris Erskine admits he was taken aback by the news he is to be inducted into Partick Thistle’s Hall of Fame next month, and can’t believe he will now be in the same company of legendary figures like John Lambie and Bertie Auld.
The Jags hero, who hails from East Kilbride, made almost 300 appearances for the Maryhill side during three spells and netted 56 goals, many of them outstanding finishes. He also led the club to the First Division title in 2013 and played regularly in the top flight.
And the club has now announced Erskine will become the latest inductee at a special dinner on Friday, April 22 at Firhill.
