Prior to that, he spent four years as the head coach at Kilmarnock women, during which time the Ayrshire side were promoted to the SWPL 2.
Gibson commented: “I am delighted to welcome Stewart to the club. There was a really strong list of candidates that came forward but for me, Stewart was the one that really stood out.
“From a human perspective, it’s important we employ good people. We want to create an environment where people enjoy coming to work and Stewart will play a good part in that. From a football side, he’s someone I have got to know well over the years, he’s been involved in the women’s game for several years now and adds a great deal of experience.
“Also, with him coming in from a team within the league, he’s in a good place to get to work quicker. He knows the opposition well, when preparing for games his knowledge and opinion will be strong from the off. Equally, he knows our players well both from their strengths and weaknesses from competing against us - so can help us improve individually and as a team. All round he ticked every box, he has played a big part in Patrick Thistle’s impressive rise the last two seasons.”
