Ian Baraclough has returned to his job as Partick Thistle’s sporting director
Former Northern Ireland manager Ian Baraclough has given a positive update on his recovery from a horrific freak accident during his honeymoon in Mauritius and has backed Michael O’Neill’s side to stun Italy and keep their World Cup dream alive.
Just two days after he married his long-term partner Alexia in June last year, the 55-year-old was hospitalised after being slammed into the sand by a wave.
