On-loan Watford goalkeeper Myles Roberts has clearly made an impression at Partick Thistle as he has won their Player of the Month award.
The 22-year-old moved to the Scottish Championship side for the season during the summer, and has started all five of their games since.

He has kept two clean sheets in that time, most recently in the 3-0 home win over Queen’s Park.
Robert has conceded just three goals in four league games during his maiden month as a Jag, making a fine collection of saves along the way.
Deputising for the injured David Mitchell, the young keeper has had big gloves to fill but he’s clearly taken to the challenge in some style.
“You never know what to expect when you’re joining a new club, but I’ve really enjoyed my first month here in Glasgow,” Roberts told the Thistle official website.
“To start off, everyone was extremely welcoming and that’s helped me hit the ground running on the pitch.
“We haven’t been able to get the results we’ve wanted but I’ve felt all along that we’ve not been far away and getting that win at the end of the month should hopefully give us a chance now to kick on and get some more points on the board in September.
“Thanks to everyone who voted for me, it’s nice to get the award.
“Hopefully I can keep getting better and better as the weeks go on and contribute to more positive results for the team.”
The monthly winner is able to nominate a charity to receive a donation from award sponsors McCrea Financial Services.
Myles added: “I chose Potter’s House Church Kingston to receive. My faith is important to me and this will help the work of the ministry there including supporting the young people who need it most.”
Roberts moved to Watford from Reading in January 2020, and had spells out on loan at Concord Rangers, Wingate and Welling United, as well as playing regularly for the Hornets Under-18 and Under-21 teams.
Last season Roberts was regularly the third goalkeeper for the first team on matchdays, and was named on the bench three times in the league, and for three cup ties.
