The sides have met twice already this season with a 2-2 draw back in August through goals from Rab Watt and Greig Barrie followed by a 4-1 win to Thistle in November with Watt, Ronnie Barnes, Kris Low and Danny Mason weighing in with the goals.

Thistle will need to do without top scorer Rab Watt for this one due to holiday commitments but have been boosted by the return of the versatile Sean Allan who signs from Pittenweem Rovers.
