Partick Thistle plan manager talks with Brian Graham AND rival Championship boss as they close in on Doolan successor
PARTICK THISTLE are set for talks with Brian Graham about their manager's job this week - with Dougie Imrie also in the frame.
Striker Graham teamed up with Under-18s coach Mark Wilson to take interim co-charge of the Jags when Kris Doolan was sacked in March.

They led the side to the Championship promotion play-offs but lost to Livingston in the semi-finals last week.
Graham, 37, has a year left on his playing deal but has made it clear he would likely have to quit the club if he and Wilson aren't appointed permanently.
Firhill sporting director Ian Baraclough now plans to speak to Graham - who has netted 100 goals in four-and-a-half years at the club - and Wilson in the coming days.
But SunSport understands Graham isn't the only contender for the vacant post with Morton gaffer Imrie also featuring high on their shortlist.
Imrie, 41, has worked wonders at Morton since taking on his first management role there in 2021.
Despite operating on a shoestring budget and seeing his squad hit by injuries he has steered the Cappielow side to two fifth-placed finishes and kept them clear of danger.
His long-time trusted No2 Andy Millen was told at the start of the month his contract wouldn't be renewed.
During his spell in charge Imrie has previously been linked with moves to take charge of former clubs Hamilton and Inverness.

Ayr United head race to land Liam Dick as full back leaves Championship rivals Raith Rovers
The Honest Men are keen to add more experience to their ranks ahead of the new season. Ayr United are in pole position to land experienced left back Liam Dick. The Honest Men head the queue for the 29-year-old, who has just left Raith Rovers having played more than 150 games during his stint in Kirkcaldy. Dick, who has also enjoyed spells at Falkirk, Dumbarton and Stranraer, has confirmed he is set for his "next chapter" after deciding to leave Barry Robson's side following four years in Fife. Scott Brown is a keen admirer of the full back and would like to strengthen the position with another player who has been over Championship course and distance. It follows this week's capture of former Partick Thistle goalkeeper David Mitchell, with the 35-year-old swapping Maryhill for Somerset Park. United remain in talks with their out of contract players and could face competition from the top flight to retain the services of Connor McLennan, with the midfielder mulling over his future.

Chelsea told to sell three recent signings in summer transfer window
Chelsea have been urged to sell three of the players they bought last summer in an effort to arm Enzo Maresca with a squad capable of challenging on all fronts. After a challenging first campaign at the helm, Enzo Maresca masterminded Champions League qualification and a major trophy after thier Coference League triumph. Maresca, himself, accepts, however, that Chelsea still have a considerable distance to travel if they are to achieve some of the loftier aims and ambitions held by the club's ownership as well as the likes of star players Cole Palmer and Enzo Fernandez. In order to make room to add an extra dose of quality to his ranks, Maresca has been advised to part company with three players whose arrivals he only sanctioned little over 12 months ago by Chelsea's former Champions League winning midfielder John Obi Mikel. Maresca appeared to have made a shrewd acquisition in defence last year when Chelsea snapped up Tosin Adarabioyo from local rivals Fulham but the former Nigeria international believes it is already time for a parting of ways.

For a free transfer, he was not a bad signing. But when I look at him I just think he is not…he's done reasonably well, but I just don't think at that Chelsea level. 'He's a good player, but not at the level to be a top Chelsea centre-back.' It is a similar story in the centre of the park for Mikel where Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who excelled for Maresca at Leicester in The Championship, found the step up in quality difficult to adjust to. 'He did well in the Championship with Leicester, but this is Chelsea Football Club,' said Mikel. 'He needs to go somewhere he can play and improve. Is he a good player? Yes. Is he a Chelsea player? Definitely not.' Up front, meanwhile, Joao Felix's second spell at the club turned out to be nothing short of an unmitigated disaster and was loaned to Milan in January. Mikel said: 'The reason why he came back to Chelsea, I have no idea. Spending £40-£50 million on bringing him back and letting him go on loan after a few months. I just don't understand it at all and how that happened. 'I'm sure Paul Winstanley and the rest of the guys have learnt from that, and not to make the same mistake again. He's been at the club twice now and not performed. It has to be sell.' More Trending The summer recruitment drive has already begun in earnest with Liam Delap's £30m arrival from Ipswich rubber stamped on Wednesday night with Chelsea having beaten Manchester United to the striker's signature. 'I understand the stature of this club and can see the trajectory it is on with these players and the head coach,' Delap told Chelsea's website. 'It's going to be an incredible place for me to develop, and I hope to achieve amazing things here and help the club win more trophies.'

New Rangers boss Russell Martin was our captain and leader, I knew right away he's someone you want in trenches with you
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) GREAT player. Great captain. But mostly a great leader. Frankie McAvoy knows what he likes in a football player and a person — and found all those qualities and more in Russell Martin a decade ago. 5 Russell Martin will be appointed the new Rangers manager Credit: Alamy 5 Russell Martin and Frankie McAvoy go back a long way Credit: Alamy 5 Martin was Norwich captain during McAvoy's time win the Canaries Credit: Reuters The man who looks certain to be named the new Rangers boss was skipper at Norwich when McAvoy went into Carrow Road as Alex Neil's No 2 at the start of 2015. And the 57-year-old has nothing but praise for the former Scotland international. McAvoy told SunSport: 'He was captain the whole time Alex and I were at Norwich. 'Right away the thing that stood out was what a leader Russell was. Good speaker, good communicator, could get the message across in the dressing room. 'He knew exactly what he wanted players to do, and he let them know if they needed to do more. 'I was at Hamilton with Alex Neil and he was a natural leader too. Russ has the same characteristics. 'Right away you knew he was a guy you wanted in the trenches with you. 'The season we went down to Norwich, the team were in the Championship and Russ was desperate for us to do well. 'He had played three seasons in the Premier League, and you saw the hunger he had to get back up to that level. 'I'd have classed him as a role model for that Norwich side — and after Alex won 17 games out of 25 at the end of that campaign we reached the play-offs and got back up. Inside Russell Martin's amazing journey from living at bookies with an abusive dad to Premier League manager 'Russ and Alex had a great relationship from the start and it was imperative they did. But that wasn't a surprise. 'They both had real drive and energy, they were similar characters. 'Russ wasn't your usual centre-half who was big and strong. He loved getting on the ball, playing it, breaking the lines. He was quick as well. 'I loved him and I enjoyed working with him. In training he gave everything, he was a real heart-and-soul type, a very intelligent boy. 'Because we'd worked with him I then always watched him when he went into management too. I remember watching his MK Dons team scoring a goal against Gillingham after 56 passes, which was a British record. 'Alex and I went to Preston and when he left I took over as interim manager, and we played against Russell's Southampton team. 'They were fantastic. They loved to dominate the ball, and you could see that was his style as a manager. 'When they didn't have it, they were real high pressure to get it back. 5 McAvoy recently worked at Hearts Credit: Kenny Ramsay 'Knowing him, he thinks the more time you've got the ball, the less time the other team have got to damage you. 'Preston beat them 3-1 but we shouldn't have. They were miles better than us. 'Even though we were at home and we won, we had 33 per cent possession of the ball. 'If Southampton had better finishers it would have been a different result. 'His teams are fantastic in terms of how he wants to play. If he goes to Rangers you'll see a big difference in how they play. He'll be a breath of fresh air. 'I could imagine when Rangers spoke to him he'd come across brilliantly in a interview situation. You'd be drawn in by him, because he's very intelligent. 'Matty Gill was with him at MK Dons, Swansea and Southampton so you'd think he might go with him too. 'And with Scotland, Steven Naismith and Russ were good friends so that might be an option.' The criticism Martin received in the Premier League with Southampton was a reluctance to change his beliefs, and a system that saw them lose 36 goals in 16 games, winning just once before he was axed last December. But McAvoy says that's NOT the case. He added: 'Russ did a Continuing Professional Development day for the SFA, and he spoke really well about styles. 'He likes playing 3-4-3 or 3-4-2-1, but he'll change to a back four if he needs to. His teams will always be about movement, energy, trying to find the spare player. 'I know people say he needed a Plan B, but he changes within games — it's not a case of, 'This is my way'. He adapts. 'But he does stick to his principles and that's a good thing, something he deserves a lot of plaudits for. 5 'It will be intriguing seeing him go up against Brendan Rodgers' Celtic, another team who want to dominate the ball. That will be really exciting for Scottish football because it will be two teams trying to play really well. 'The one thing I guarantee is that players will like playing for Russ. They will respond to how he wants to play and he'll be a really good appointment by Rangers. 'He's very good at man-management and building and maintaining relationships.' Martin was already vegan when Neil and McAvoy arrived at Norwich — but the former Hamilton and Hearts coach says that was just one example of his dedication. He also believes the fact he made 17 appearances for Gers in 2018 will benefit him. McAvoy said: 'Russ was vegan at Norwich, but his daily approach was that of a model professional, in terms of training, diet, looking after himself, recovery, everything. 'The fact he was at Ibrox before will help him because he'll know he's going into a massive club with a fanatical support. It wasn't the best time to play there, but he'll know the club's an institution, a team fighting to play in Europe every season. 'It would be a fantastic move for him and a great move for Rangers too. 'There would have been a few clubs in England looking at him because he's got out of the Championship as a player and manager, and also played at the top level. 'Russell ticks a lot of boxes, and I believe Rangers and him will be a great fit for each other.' Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page
