Match Preview
Duo missing for Partick Manager Jocky Scott will be without Martin Corrigan and Paul McHale as bottom-of-the-table Stirling host Partick. The duo are suspended and, therefore, will join injured goalkeeper Callum Reidford and Greig MacDonald on the sidelines. Jonathan Brown is also a doubt, but Gordon Smith returns from suspension alongside Michael Doyle. Scott said: "We were competing well against Dunfermline until we lost two players and a penalty. The boys were sticking to the game plan well until that happened and things went out the window. "Hopefully against Partick, we will be able to stick to the game plan for 90 minutes and get some points to make things interesting at the foot of the table." Partick are hoping to have Simon Donnelly back for the trip. He has been struggling through injury recently but returns, although that is tempered by Willie Kinniburgh, Ross McGeough, Bryan Hodge and Paul Cairney being unavailable. Full-back Paul Paton misses out through suspension, while on-loan Hearts midfielder Ryan McGowan is on international duty with Australia's Under-23s. Jags assistant boss Ian Maxwell said: "We will be looking to put the disappointment of losing to Cowdenbeath on Saturday behind us. "We did not play too badly but we never really looked like scoring and we aim to put that right. "Stirling will be looking to bounce back after what happened at Dunfermline so we need to be prepared for a really tough evening."

Match Report
Doolan brace sinks Stirling Kris Doolan scored twice as Partick recorded a comfortable 3-0 win at rock-bottom Stirling. Doolan claimed his first after 27 minutes, getting on the end of David Rowson's cross to slot home from 12 yards. Conrad Balatoni doubled the advantage nine minutes later as he powered in a close-range header from Patrick Boyle's corner. Albion threatened to pull one back at the start of the second half with Scott Robertson missing on two occasions with efforts from inside the box while Tom Brighton tested Thistle goalkeeper Scott Fox. But Partick survived that spell of pressure and Doolan made the scoreline comfortable 18 minutes from time, netting his 12th goal of the season from the penalty spot following Ross Forsyth's foul on John Robertson.
