Blair Spittal

• Blair Spittal, 2017 (ET) Blair Thomas Spittal was born on Tuesday, 19th December, 1995, in Erskine, Renfrewshire. The 6' 0 (11st 9lbs) midfielder signed for Alan Archibald's Thistle on Thursday, 15th June, 2017, having most recently been with Dundee United. Aged 21, he made his debut appearance on Tuesday, 11th July, 2017, in a 2-1 friendly defeat away to Dumbarton. Blair scored his first two goals for Thistle on Saturday, 22nd July, 2017, in a 5-0 win at home to St Mirren in the League Cup. He scored the last of his 17 goals on Saturday, 24th October, 2020, in a 2-1 win at home to Airdrieonians in the SPFL League One. He played his last game for the club on Saturday, 14th November, 2020, in a 0-0 draw at home to Greenock Morton in the League Cup, having clocked up 100 appearances as a Jag. At June, 2024, Blair's club-list included Queen's Park, Dundee United, Partick Thistle, Ross County, Motherwell and Heart of Midlothian.

Bio Extra

A product of the youth system at Queen's Park, Blair's form in League Two caught the eye of Dundee United who moved quickly to bring him to Tayside in 2014. Making 108 appearances in three years at Tannadice, he got his first taste of top flight football before helping the Terrors to victory in the 2017 Challenge Cup final over St Mirren, following United's relegation. A return to the top league came at Partick Thistle in 2017 where he continued to make his mark, scoring 15 goals in 89 appearances for the Jags across two seasons. A 3 year move to Ross County followed, interspersed with a second spell (this time on loan) at Partick Thistle during 2020-21. Blair signed for Motherwell in 2022, where his reputation for goals and creativity was cemented. Following a hugely productive season at Fir Park, in which he sat second the Premiership assist charts with 11 created, and registered 13 goals in all competitions, Blair signed a 3-year-deal with Hearts in June, 2024.
