Brian Graham stands down as Partick Thistle Women boss

“I’m immensely proud of everything we have achieved as a club.”

Asked about his future with the men’s team after Friday’s 2-0 defeat in West Lothian, Graham had told BBC Scotland: “We were up for the job since day one. I knew stepping out that changing room, I couldn’t go back to it.

“So, if I don’t get the job, can I honestly be at the club? I don’t know.

“There’s a lot of questions need to be asked. I’ve loved my time at the football club. I don’t know what the future holds.”

Graham was full of praise for his players, who finished the season in fourth place but then defeated third-top Ayr United in their quarter-final play-off before losing 4-0 on aggregate to runners-up Livingston.

“We didn’t do enough in the first leg,” he said. “I thought we were probably the better side [in the second leg].The boys were a credit to the football club, the way they played.”

Co-manager Wilson admitted is also keen to take the manager’s job at Firhill.

“A manager needs to be appointed and it’s a big decision,” he added.

Graham will take charge of the women’s team for the last time when they face Spartans at Ainslie Park on Sunday.

During his time as manager, he has overseen promotion to the top flight and had two top-six finishes, reached the Scottish Cup semi-final and the Sky Sports Cup final.
