Match Preview

Thistle waiting on Doolan fitness Queen of the South will again without suspended duo Bob Harris and David Lilley when Partick Thistle visit Palmerston Park. Doonhamers boss Kenny Brannigan has no other injury or suspension worries as he looks to guide his side to their first home league win since early November. Brannigan said: "We gave Dundee a right going over last week but somehow lost the game 2-1. "The same level of performance should see us with this game, although Thistle are in fine form. I watched them in midweek and thought they did really well against St Johnstone for the first hour." Thistle are hoping to include striker Kris Doolan in their squad. A virus kept Doolan out of the midweek Scottish Cup defeat at St Johnstone. John Robertson, Paddy Boyle, Paul Cairney and Martin Grehan were suffering on Thursday from the same bug but they all trained on Friday and should make the trip to Dumfries. However, Paul Paton was absent from that training session and is considered a major doubt. Meanwhile, goalkeeper Bryn Halliwell and midfielder Ryan Macbeth have left Firhill to join Clyde on loan.

Match Report

Late show stuns Thistle Allan Johnston's last-minute equaliser earned Queen of the South a dramatic 3-3 draw with Partick. The visitors opened the scoring after 32 minutes when Martin Grehan's 20-yard strike beat keeper David Hutton and Kris Doolan doubled their advantage four minutes before half-time after he converted from close range. The home side were given hope just prior to the break as William McLaren halved the deficit, finishing Derek Holmes` cross from six yards. Thistle thought they had wrapped up the three points after 83 minutes when Iain Flannigan scored from 12 yards but McLaren pulled a goal back four minutes later with his second of the game from 12 yards. Johnston then earned his side a valuable point with a tap-in from close range in the final minute.
