The Benefits of Teamwork; A Partnership between a Glasgow College and Partick Thistle Is Helping Students Realise Their Dreams, Says LOU PRENDERGAST

Byline: LOU PRENDERGAST

WHEN she started out at college, Amy Buchanan had a dream of working in football. But she couldn't have imagined that within two years she'd be giving massages to top Partick Thistle players. The 20-year-old from Kippen got her big break last year when she was sent to Firhill for a work placement while in her second year as an HND Sports Therapy student at Glasgow Central College of Commerce.

At first she worked with the club's under 15s, providing massage and physiotherapy, but soon she was rubbing the shoulders of the first team.

And now the club have tapped into Amy's other talents by giving her a summer administration job.
