Partick Thistle boss Alan Archibald insisted his business was done for the summer after the double-signing of Conor Sammon and Miles Storey but the Jags boss has revealed he is set to get busy one more time following a long-term injury to Calum Booth.

The Jags left-back is set to be on the sidelines for up to three months after damaging his knee ligaments in the weekend loss to St Johnstone, forcing Archibald to rush to find a replacement before next Thursday’s transfer deadline.

I wasn’t planning on doing any more business and we thought we were finished last week.

But Callum Booth got a bad knee injury last week at St Johnstone so we might have to go back in and get some cover in at full-back.

We think he will be out for 12 weeks. He’s torn his posterior cruciate ligament so it’s quite a bad one.
