Crocked Partick star McNamara out for the rest of the season
PARTICK Thistle's star signing Jackie McNamara is out for the rest of the season.
The 36 year old former Scotland player and Celtic captain suffered a leg break during the Jags' miserable 1-0 defeat to Ayr United on Wednesday night.
McNamara signed for the Jags on a loan deal from Falkirk in February and had played only a handfull of games.
Thistle boss Ian McCall said: "Jackie isn't the kind of player that goes to ground easily and we could tell at the time that it was a bad one and it has been confirmed that Jackie has broken his leg.
"He will see a specialist to try and determine just how serious a leg break it is.
"A leg break is obviously a bad injury at the best of times and our hope is that it is nothing more than a break and that there isn't, and we don't think there is, any cruciate ligament damage into the bargain.
"The best case scenario is that he will be fit for pre-season training at the end of June start of July. In the meantime we all wish Jackie, who was again excellent last night before being injured, all the best for a speedy recovery."
