Partick Thistle have confirmed the signing of Niall Keown on loan from Reading.

The 21-year-old, son of former Arsenal, Everton and England defender Martin, has joined Alan Archibald's team until the end of the campaign.

Keown impressed during a training stint with the Scottish Premiership outfit and he could make his debut in Saturday's league clash with Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

While the defender arrives at Firhill, one man heading for the exit door is full-back Ziggy Gordon.

The 23-year-old is heading to Poland to join Jagiellonia Bialystok just six months into his deal with the Jags.

Gordon joined Thistle on a one-year deal from Hamilton but he is poised to depart after making 19 appearances for the club.
