This Friday, we host Partick Thistle, which could see us automatically promoted back to the Premiership if things go our way on the night. The visitors currently sit 4^th and will be battling for the last remaining Play-Off spot.

After an excellent 3-0 victory against Hamilton away from home, we have gained significant momentum, having scored an impressive 13 goals in our last 5 matches! Last weekend’s result saw us go level points with league leaders Falkirk.  We are currently ranked 1^st at home this season in the league, and we are focused on putting all of our efforts into enhancing our promotion prospects.

Partick Thistle are coming into this one off the back of a thrilling 2-1 against Falkirk, a 97^th minute goal stole all 3 points for the Jags after playing the majority of the match with 10 men. They have scored 5 goals in their last 5 matches, and they have proven to be tough opposition for us this season. They will be aiming to keep their promotion hopes alive with a victory on Friday night.

Key players will be crucial to this encounter – Robbie Muirhead continues to impress as he netted twice against Hamilton last weekend and is also up for the PFA Scotland Championship Player of the Year Award. Another player who has impressed recently is Lewis Smith, who helped the team to victory with a few assists last weekend.

Historically, we have had the upper hand in our encounters with Partick Thistle, winning 3 out of the last 5 matches. Our recent clash was a 1-1 draw away from home back in February, with our last victory coming back in December, winning 2-0 at home. We will be hoping for a repeat of that this Friday night.
