LEE HODSON has joined Partick Thistle.
The defender, 30, has signed on a six-month loan deal from Kilmarnock.
The experienced full-back helped Killie to Championship title glory last term.
And Ian McCall will be hoping the former Northern Ireland international can help do the same for the Jags this season.
The Firhill boss said: “Lee was my number one target to add to the defensive ranks and I’m delighted that he is joining us on loan.
✍️ We are excited to announce the signing of Lee Hodson from Kilmarnock on a loan deal until January, subject to Scottish FA clearance.

Lee will wear number 16 as a Thistle player.
"It took a little bit of time to do, but he is a quality player and it is always worth waiting that little bit of time for someone who will add quality to our squad.
"Lee has experience of winning at this level, being part of the Kilmarnock team which won the league last season and he’s a player that I can see making a real impact in our squad this season.
“Lee is the perfect type of defender as he is versatile and can fill in across the back line. He’s equally comfortable in both full back positions but he doesn’t look out of place at centre back as part of a back three either and he’ll push the rest of our defenders all the way to keep their place in the starting eleven.”
Hodson, who has also played for Rangers, Hamilton and St Mirren, will wear number 16.
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!
