94’Full Time Report

It's an unhappy night for Thistle after a third successive game without a goal. 

It wasn't for lack of effort or chances after Inverness went down to ten men minutes after they punished a Thistle defensive error to score what proved to be the game's only goal.

An unhappy few seconds for Welsh. Seconds after being denied by Mitchell he lunges in late on Tiffoney and is sent off.

00’Kick-Off
 
00’Introduction

The Thistle side to face Inverness on a wet night in the Highlands shows just one change from the side that drew 0-0 with Dundee six game ago. 

Back comes in Harry Milne with Lee Hodson dropping to the bench. 

There are sections of the pitch that are visibly holding water and while the pitch is playable the match officials were paying for close attention to it. Thankfully the ain seems to be off as we near kick-off.
