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.
