In form Thistle face the bottom of the league Ross County. The game could represent an opportunity to increase our goal difference or could it be a potential banana skin?
Good news on the injury front is both Stephen McKeown and David Rowson are added to the squad. Rowsons early recovery is a welcome surprise however it is possible McCall will not take a risk with him and may at best, get a place on the bench.
Ross County have a number of ex Thistle players, Scott Boyd, Adam Strachan, Andy Dowie and Mark McCulloch. The return of Strachan is partially interesting – has the move away from Glasgow helped him meet the potential many thought he was capable of reaching?
The renaming of Sections 1 and 2 of the Jackie Husband Stand last week appeared to be a big success. This week represents more of a challenge with a few hundred supporters at best expected from Ross County.
Jim Alexanders’ drive to improve the match day experience appears to be met with approval from most thistle fans. Lets hope the shed boy’s have plenty to sing about on Saturday!
