| Andy McCarthy |
 Andrew McCarthy was born on Tuesday, 20th October, 1998, in Glasgow. The 5' 11 (12st 7lbs) midfielder signed for Alan Archibald's Thistle on Tuesday, 26th May, 2015, having most recently been with Partick Thistle U-17. Aged 17, he made his debut appearance on Tuesday, 5th July, 2016, in a 0-0 friendly draw away to Raith Rovers. There were no goals for Andy during his time at Thistle. He played his last game on Saturday, 2nd February, 2019, in a 2-1 win away to Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the SPFL Championship, having appeared as a Jag on 41 occasions. At September, 2020, Andy's club-list included Partick Thistle, Queen of the South and Peterhead. |
 This midfield playmaker came through with Thistle's youth teams, and got his chance at the highest level, making 20 top-flight appearances in 2016-17 & 2017-18. He suffered the pain of relegation in 2018, but remained involved in the Championship under Gary Caldwell in season 2018-19. He was released at the end of a disappointing season, and signed a one-year deal with Queen of the South. After several months at Palmerston, his lack of game time was frustrating for all parties, and, in the January transfer window, a move to part-time football with Peterhead was arranged. Demonstrating his good relationship with Thistle, Andy was allowed to supplement his two-nights-per-week training at Peterhead with sessions under Ian McCall's coaching team. |
