Liam Lindsay has completed a move to English Championship side Barnsley from Partick Thistle.
The in-demand 21-year-old has joined the Tykes for an undisclosed fee, after agreeing personal terms and completing a medical yesterday.
Lindsay said: “I’m delighted to be here. I met the Gaffer, he took me into his office and sat down with me outlining his plans for the team, for me and for the Club. I was really impressed with that. It made me feel good knowing he knew what I was about, that he knew my game. Everything was so detailed, it’s a really professional setup and I can’t wait to get started.”
Meanwhile, Oxford United chairman Darryl Eales has refused to confirm if Partick Thistle manager Alan Archibald is on a list of candidates to replace Michael Appleton, after he joined Leicester City as assistant manager.
Eales said that the club have yet to make an approach to anyone over the vacant position, but reiterated that current assistant manager Derek Fazackerley was likely to remain in position.
That may prove a potential stumbling block to any approach to Archibald, who would likely prefer to continue working with Scott Paterson as his number two.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
