Summary

Season

Partick Thistle finished first in the Scottish First Division,[3] and were promoted to the Scottish Premier League.[4] They reached the final of the Challenge Cup,[5] losing 6–5 on penalties to Queen of the South,[6] the second round of the League Cup[7] and the fourth round of the Scottish Cup.[8]

Management

Thistle began the season under the management of Jackie McNamara. On 29 January 2013, the club gave permission to Dundee United to speak to McNamara about becoming their new manager.[9] The following day McNamara and his assistant Simon Donnelly resigned,[10] to become the new management team at United.[11][12] Later the same day the club announced that Alan Archibald and Scott Paterson would take over as the club's interim management team.[13] On 22 March, the duo were given the job on a permanent basis[14] signing a one-year rolling contract.[15]
