Partick Thistle manager Ian McCall has confirmed the club are close to a deal to sign Rangers talent Cole McKinnon.
The teenager has put pen to paper on a new Ibrox deal until 2025 after showing his promise in their Lowland League 'B' team. He also netted on the final day of the Premiership season at Hearts but a loan exit is set to beckon as he aims to build more senior experience. Rangers team-mate Tony Weston has already joined the Jags on a season-long loan deal.
Auchenhowie academy products have regularly gone to Partick Thistle for senior experience in recent seasons - including players like Lewis Mayo and Zak Rudden - with McCall set to sign another for his Championship plans. Already this summer, Thistle have signed Anton Dowds, Harry Milne, David Mitchell, Steven Lawless, Jack McMillan and Aaron Muirhead, facing Kilmarnock tomorrow on Premier Sports Cup duty.
