OSMAN Kakay has moved to Partick Thistle on loan until January 2020.

The 22-year-old defender completed the switch ahead of Scotland’s midnight deadline and he will now be looking for crucial game time with Gary Caldwell’s side.

Kakay spent the second half of the 2015/16 campaign on loan at Scottish Championship outfit Livingston, while a similar period was spent with League One side Chesterfield in 2016/17.

Partick are currently bottom of the Scottish Championship, having picked up one point from their opening four fixtures.

Kakay could make his first appearance for the Jags when they take on Montrose in the Scottish Challenge Cup on Saturday.

The transfer is subject to international clearance.
