He has apparently been moved to the top of Thistle's 4 man shortlist according to News reports on both the BBC and STV. Billy however has denied that he has been approached by Thistle supremo Alan Cowan.
The ex Celtic and Aberdeen midfielder told the BBC "I've not heard anything and that would be quite proper because I am under contract at Queen's Park."
Billy has been in charge at Hampden for three seasons since taking over from Kenny Brannigan in August 2004. Though he will no doubt be in high demand this summer after leading QP to promotion to the Second Division.
