Match Preview
Keeper conundrum for Moore Morton manager Allan Moore must choose between goalkeepers Colin Stewart and Celtic loanee Dominic Cervi when they face Partick. Moore said: "Colin returned to training on Thursday so I could have a decision to make." Midfielder Michael Tidser may be fit enough for a place on the bench after knee and thigh injuries but defenders Stuart McCaffrey and Ross Forsyth remain out with knocks. "Thistle beat us 5-0 in our last meeting and while there were never five goals in it there is an element of revenge in our minds," added Moore. "We have been playing well but what we have to do is score when we are on top during games, as too often recently we have ended up chasing things." Partick welcome back midfielder Scott Robertson after a hamstring injury. However, Iain Flannigan, Ryan MacBeth and Willie Kinniburgh remain sidelined with knocks. Thistle beat Morton 5-0 in their last meeting but manager Jackie McNamara said: "That win is well in the past now. "And to be honest Morton played really well until they had a man sent off so there is not a great deal of benefit by going back into it. "More important to me is last week's performance against Livingston where we played really well but made a mistake defensively that cost us a goal. I will be speaking about cutting that out."

Match Report
It's bliss for Kris Substitute Kris Doolan grabbed an 88th-minute winner to hand Partick a 2-1 win at struggling Morton. Partick took the lead after 39 minutes when midfielder David Rowson let fly from the edge of the box and the ball nestled into top corner. Morton grabbed an equaliser eight minutes after half-time, Darren McGeouch firing his long-range effort into the bottom corner of Scott Fox's goal. Aaron Sinclair unleashed a powerful drive from outside the area which was well saved by Dominic Cervi in the 60th minute, but the points were secured two minutes from time when Doolan neatly converted from close range following Sinclair's cross. The result means the visitors move to within three points of third-placed Falkirk.
