Jags fan chosen to become the new Kingsley

Football club chiefs have found a fan to step into the shoes of a “scary” mascot who caused a global stir when he was introduced last year.

Spiky yellow character Kingsley, mascot of Partick Thistle, grabbed headlines across the world on his unveiling in June 2015.

Officials of the Glasgow club announced they had appointed a “new Kingsley” following a job application process.

Architect Craig Dunstable, 38, a lifelong Jags fan has been selected to step into the suit designed by 2013 Turner Prize nominee David Shrigley.
