PARTICK Thistle defender Liam Lindsay’s future is still up in the air after the 21-year-old rejected a move to Oxford United over the weekend.
Lindsay travelled south to discuss terms with the English League One club last week after a fee of £350,000 plus add-ons was agreed between the clubs.
But Lindsay is believed to have been put off the move due to uncertainty over the future of Oxford manager Michael Appleton, who has been linked with a move to take the assistant manager’s position at Leicester City.
English Championship side Barnsley put in a slightly improved offer for the centre-half towards the end of last week, which has also been accepted by the Firhill club, and the defender now faces a decision over his future.
He has not ruled out staying with Thistle for another season, despite the interest from England, but the Firhill club expect further enquiries for his services over the coming days.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
