LIAM LINDSAY is confident Firhill boss Alan Archibald can help him go from strength to strength after penning a new Partick Thistle deal.

The defender has committed his future to the Jags until the summer of 2019 as his fine form in red and yellow has been rewarded.

Lindsay has made 14 appearances for Archibald’s side this term and helped Thistle to a crucial Premiership win over Dundee on Wednesday night.

A trip to McDiarmid Park is next on the Jags’ agenda this afternoon and Lindsay hopes the future is bright as he strives for improvement under Archibald’s guidance.

He said: “It’s good to get it signed and sealed. I knew it’s been coming over the last couple of weeks bit I’m delighted to get it signed and hopefully I’ll do well for the club.

“The manager has been good with me. After every match we’ll look through the game and he’ll talk to you individually to point out your mistake and how to rectify it.

“He makes it clear it’s alright to make mistakes as long as you learn from it. I hope I keep learning and improving with experience.

“The manager is quite cool-headed. He’s not the type to go screaming and shouting - well maybe a wee bit after the game - but come Monday once everything has cooled down he’s easy to talk to.

“He’s a good guy to learn from, especially with all he’s done in the game as a defender he’s perfect for me.”
