CHERRIES defender Baily Cargill has described as "crazy" his first few days with new loan club Partick Thistle.
Cargill joined the Scottish Premiership outfit on Tuesday having spent the first half of the season with Fleetwood Town in League One.
And just hours after completing his temporary transfer and receiving international clearance, the 22-year-old was handed his debut during a 2-1 defeat by leaders and current champions Celtic at Firhill.
"It's been a bit crazy," said Cargill, speaking to Sky Sports News.
"I came up here on Sunday night, met the lads on Monday morning and then got thrown straight in on Tuesday.
"Sometimes I think it is better that way, going in a little bit blind means you don't get so many nerves. I think I did okay and I enjoyed it.
"My first taste of Scottish football was definitely different to what I've been used to. Celtic are the best team in the league so that was quite a challenge.
"They came here and had a lot of the ball. We didn't have much of the ball in the first half but I thought we were very good and were unfortunate not to get a (positive) result."
Cargill revealed Cherries boss Eddie Howe had given him some reassuring advice before he headed north: "He said just go and get games and gain more experience. Hopefully, I can go back with a bit more confidence."
