No wins
The loss meant that Partick, in last place in the Scottish Premier League, have picked up just two points from 14 matches this season and are yet to win a game. Coaching assistant Bobby McCulley was also given his marching orders.
Management reshuffle
Collins only took the job after a management reshuffle in the summer. Former coach John Lambie moved into a director of football role and allowed Collins - his trusted assistant - to assume the top position. Thistle, six points behind second-from-bottom Aberdeen FC, will now seek to appoint a coach who can save them from relegation.
