Thistle lose a seven goal thriller.
Fitzpatrick's corner goes out for a goal kick on the far side.
We've played the first minute of 5 additional minutes to be played.
Connolly's effort thumps off the post with Sneddon well beaten.
Rovers take a quick free kick. Connolly squares the ball and it is thumped home by Stanton.
This incredible match is level again. Smith shoots from the edge of the box and ball flies into the net.
Rovers howl for a free kick at the edge of the Thistle box that doesn't come.
A wild effort from O'Reilly soars over the Thistle crossbar.
A Milne cross goes right across the face of the Rovers goal.
The Thistle corner comes to nothing.
Scenes. Absolute scenes. Milne's header at the back post is turned home from Alston from about a yard out. They aren't all spectacular from Blair after all. Who cares?
Fitzpatrick picks up the ball in the middle of the pitch and drives forward. He slips a pass through to Graham who takes a touch before shooting and his shot is deflected narrowly wide.
Milne whips over a cross from the left but Graham can't direct his header towards goal.
Rovers appeal for something but it is a Thistle goal kick.
Graham drills the penalty low and hard into the net. We're level again.
This time it is a penalty after the ball strikes a Rovers hand.
Fitzpatrick's near post corner is headed clear.
Loud appeals for handball and a Thistle penalty fall on deaf ears.
Thistle are back in it as McInroy's free kick is put into his own net by O'Reilly
Another Thistle free kick outside the Rovers box. This time left of centre.
Not too far out at all and Alston's effort ripples the top of the net as it just goes over.
Alston is fouled giving Thistle a free kick in a central position. Maybe a shade too far out for a direct shot at goal.
An awful way to start the second half. Sneddon's poor clearance is collected by Easton who steps forward a few yards before drilling a low shot into the net. Long, long way back for Thistle now.
Thistle are probably fortunate not to be trailing by more than a single goal after a largely one sided first half.
Aside from a Graham header inside the first couple of minutes that produced a good save Thistle have offered little while Sneddon has made a couple of good stops to keep the score at just 1-0.
Big improvement needed after the break.
Easton doesn't get enough curl on his shot at the edge of the Thistle box and the ball goes out for a goal kick.
Minimum of 2 minutes additional time to be played.
Sneddon makes an excellent one handed save low to his right to deny Vaughan as Thistle try and get to half-time no worse than 1-0 down.
Hamilton pokes a good chance wide of goal after collecting a Vaughan pass.
Rovers again do an effective job of dealing with the Thistle corner that followed a wild deflected effort from Milne.
Rovers have an easy task of clearing the Lawless corner. In a game where Thistle have had little opportunity to threaten they must do better with these set plays when they come.
Vaughan steps forward before hitting a shot tat Sneddon saves but can't hold.
The corner is cleared before Sneddon claims another cross delivered deep into the Thistle box. Thistle are only just hanging on in this match.
Sneddon makes an important block to deny Hamilton as he wriggles clear in the box.
Vaughan is able to get ahead of Neilson to collect a flicked header. His first time shot though doesn't have enough elevation to beat Sneddon.
Fitzpatrick breaks with pace as Thistle try and hit Rovers on the counter attack. He looks to be tripped but there is no free kick.
Lawless' corner is headed clear. The ball drops to Neilson at the edge of the box but his volley is well wide of the Rovers goal.
Rovers work a short corner and when the ball us delivered to the back post O'Reilly is there and his downward header beats Sneddon near his right hand post.
O'Reilly is able to get is head to the second Rovers corner but his header doesn't threaten the Thistle goal.
Rovers turn to come close as Sneddon gets his fingertips to a long range effort from Stanton.
Nearly a dream start for Thistle. McInroy crosses from the left and Graham's header is saved at full length by Dabrowski.
Thistle get the match underway. Thistle shooting towards the home end in the first half.
