Jags away to N.Ireland

Last updated : 15 July 2002 By
Thistle willl today leave for their tour of N.Ireland which will include games against Derry City tomorrow night, followed by Bangor on Thursday, then finishing the tour against Portadown on Saturday.

Lambie is wanting to try out some new things with the team to see which may be most effective for the return to the SPL. One suggestion was playing Scott Paterson in midfield.


The squad for the tour is as follows:


1. Kevin Budinauckas
2. Jamie Mckinstry
3. Alan Archibald
4. Stephen Craigan
5. Scott Paterson
6. Kenny Milne
7. Jamie Mitchell
9. Scott McLean
10. Martin Hardie
11. Alex Burns
12. Kenny Arthur
14. Paul Walker
16. Jamie Buchan
17. David Lilley
19. Gerry Britton
20. Derek Whyte
21. Andy Gibson
22. Barry Elliot
23. Ricky Waddell
28. Ian Morris.

Although Jamie Micthell who signed from Clyde during the summer pick up and knock and may not travel on the tour. Other players not going are Danny Lennon and Jamie Dolan. Dave McCallum has also been left out of the squad, Dave who missed most of last season, must be quite dissapointed.


The shock players going on the tour are New signings Ricky Waddell and Ian Morris. Less of a surprise is Andy Gibson who has been breaking into the first team throughout last year.
