Partick Thistle have announced the signing of Gary Mackay-Steven on a deal until the end of the season.
The ex-Scotland international has been a free agent since leaving Championship strugglers Ross County last month.
And Jags manager Mark Wilson believes the signing of his former teammate is a smart piece of business.
He told club channels: “Gary is someone I played with at Dundee United and he has always been a supremely talented player.
“I got in touch with him recently to find out what his situation was after leaving Ross County and he was very keen to come in and train.
“We’re obviously a bit light on numbers at the moment, especially in the wide areas, and Gary represents a very useful option on the wing.
“He’s been without a club for about six weeks so he’ll not be match sharp straight away but I can tell he’s eager to contribute as quickly.”
Partick Thistle are just five points off leaders St Johnstone with six games of the Championship season remaining before the play-offs.
The former Celtic and Aberdeen wide man could be in line for a debut as early as tomorrow evening at home to his previous side Ross County.
