TRANSFER ROUND-UP

PARTICK THISTLE want to take 20-year-old midfielder Ben Williamson on loan from Rangers.

Williamson spent the second half of last season out with Raith after a stint in the Premiership in the first half with Livingston.

Meanwhile Raith have given Brody Paterson, 21, the chance to win a deal.

The left-back, a free agent after leaving Celtic, is training under his old Airdrie boss Ian Murray.

Ex-Falkirk keeper Robbie Mutch, 23, is weighing up a move to Northern Ireland with Crusaders keen on the free agent.

Kelty Hearts look set to move for freed Dunfermline defender Lewis Martin, 26.

He played 90 minutes as a trialist for the League Two champions in Friday’s 1-0 defeat by Partick Thistle.

New boss John Potter worked with Martin – who had a tough injury spell and played seven times in more than two years – during his time at the Pars.
