Two Partick Thistle players have left the club on transfer deadline day.

Midfielder Iain Flannigan has been released from his contract with immediate effect.

A statement on the club’s website said: "Iain approached manager Jackie McNamara to discuss his future.

"At the age of 24 Iain quite naturally feels that it is important to be playing regular first team football at this stage of his career.

"It was agreed, therefore, that it was in everyone’s best interests for Iain to be released from his contract.

"We wish Iain every success for the future and thank him for his services during his season and a half at Firhill."

Flannigan, who used to play with Kilmarnock, was out of contract with The Jags in May.

Meanwhile, 19-year-old defender Johnny Lindsay has joined Brechin City on loan until the end of the season.
