THE Scottish Professional Football League have responded to Partick Thistle banning them from Firhill for the League One trophy presentation, wishing them well in their celebrations.
The Jags, who clinched a quickfire return to the Championship with a crushing 5-0 win over Falkirk last week, will collect the trophy this morning.
Manager Ian McCall made Thistle’s position clear on an appearance on BBC Sportsound though, saying: “Nobody from the SPFL or the SFA will be allowed in the stadium, which is great. Simple as that.”
A spokesperson for the SPFL responded by saying: "Partick Thistle are very deserving and worthy champions.
“We wish them well as they celebrate their League One title and look forward to seeing them competing in the Championship next season."
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!
