Ross Meechan |
Ross Meechan was born on Thursday, 10th November, 1994, in Glasgow. The 6' 0 (11st 5lbs) defender signed for Alan Archibald's Thistle on Monday, 22nd July, 2013, having most recently been with St Mirren. Aged 18, he played his one and only game for Thistle (as a trialist) on Tuesday, 16th July, 2013, in a 0-0 friendly draw away to Livingston. At August, 2022, Ross's club-list included St Mirren, Partick Thistle, Stenhousemuir, Forfar Athletic and Darvel. |
Ross, a right back, began his professional career with St Mirren under 20s before joining Partick Thistle's equivalent in the close season of 2013. In his trial game at Livingston, the 18-year-old got a taste of the Thistle first team when he came on for Stephen O'Donnell with 7 minutes remaining. It was a feisty affair for a pre-season friendly with a few yellow cards being shown, and Ross was at the centre of the action when he was hacked down by Livingston’s Jason Talbot, causing a fair degree of carnage and argy bargy. There was no need for that Talbot, you clown! After Thistle, Ross spent four years as a Warrior leading Stenhousemuir into League One through the play-offs in 2017-18. Following spells at Darvel and Forfar, he returned to Ochilview in May 2023, where he is highly regarded. Away from the football, Ross is a bit of a tradesman, qualified as a tiler, plasterer and electrician. |
