Match Preview
Archibald returns for Thistle Partick Thistle are boosted by having Alan Archibald back from suspension as they host a Raith Rovers side that beat them heavily on the opening day of the season. On-loan Hearts defender Conrad Balatoni is a doubt with a hamstring problem and winger Chris Erskine will need to prove his fitness after a calf strain. John Robertson and Ryan McBeth are expected to remain on the sidelines due to a lack of games recently. After their disappointing start to the season, the Jags have turned into draw specialists and they are looking to end a run of three drawn games with their first three-point haul since late October. Firhill assistant manager Ian Maxwell said: "We have improved steadily throughout the season and this will be a real test of our progress." Raith Rovers make the trip on the back of a five-game unbeaten run against Glasgow side. But they will be missing influential midfielder Stephen Simmonds due to an injury, along with Dougie Hill. On-loan Hearts striker Jamie Mole is a doubt because of a knee problem, meaning Gary Wales should deputise following his return from Australia last month. Boss John McGlynn said: "We have not played in more than a month, but I am looking for the boys to show a great amount of enthusiasm to get playing again. "Our away record has been good this season and I want that to continue, however, Thistle are working incredibly hard for each other and we need to match that work rate despite our lay-off."

Match Report
Partick and Raith forced to settle for point Partick and Raith were forced to settle for a goalless draw in a disappointing First Division encounter. John Baird had a chance to put Raith in front 14 minutes in but his right-foot volley from the edge of the penalty area flashed wide. Partick were almost in front 11 minutes before half-time when Chris Erskine's left-foot drive was palmed away by Raith goalkeeper David McGurn. The visitors started brightly after the break, with Iain Williamson forcing a save from Partick goalkeeper Scott Fox with a powerful shot. Partick lost William Kinniburgh to injury 11 minutes into the second half and Raith could have been in front after 64 minutes when Scott McBride failed to hit the target from six yards out. David Rowson and Hodge both had chances to win it for Patrick but failed to hit the target.
