It has been two weeks since left New Meadow to take over at National League side and the board have turned their attention towards Archibald whose team have struggled to 11th in the Scottish this season.

Like Thistle, Shrewsbury’s season has been a tale of woe with their last three league matches resulting in defeat and sending them to the bottom of . Archibald however, is someone who has a record of making an instant impact.

Upon his appointment back in 2013, Archibald steered Partick to promotion in his first full season in charge since turning to management and securing the title in the process. Furthermore, he has achieved the objective of keeping the club in the Scottish Premier League on three occasions – a similar brief to be performed at the Shropshire-based club.
