Partick Thistle's Adam Barton named Premiership player of the month

Adam Barton has been rewarded for his role in Partick Thistle's unbeaten October by being named Scottish Premiership player of the month.

The 25-year-old Northern Ireland midfielder helped Thistle to two wins and two draws during the month.

England-born Barton, who has one cap, joined the Glasgow club this summer after leaving Portsmouth.

He followed up a fine October with a fine goal in a 2-1 defeat by Aberdeen at the start of November.

Barton started his career with Preston North End before spells with Crawley Town, Coventry City and Fleetwood Town.
