It's barrage of Thistle pressure at the moment.

Great chance for Holt as he gets on the end of a Fitzpatrick pass but he can't keep his shot down and it flies over the crossbar. 

 
59’

Graham has the ball in the net for Thistle, lifting the ball over Fulton after collecting a Docherty pass, but the flag goes up for offside. 

 
56’

It is too far out for a shot on goal and when the ball does come into the box Muirhead heads clear. 

 
55’

Hamilton's turn to win a free kick in a dangerous position. This one might be just too far out for a direct effort on goal. 

 
53’

Turner takes the free kick. There's plenty of pace on his shot but it dips just too late to threaten the Hamilton goal. 

 
52’

Docherty is fouled just outside the Accies box in a just right of centre position. 

 
51’

Hamilton are able to clear Turner's corner and Thistle are forced to go back towards their own goal with the ball. 

51’Thistle corner from the left
50’Thistle corner from the right

The foot of Fulton denies McMillan who is set up by Turner.

A Docherty pass into the box looking for the run of Graham evades the reach of the Thistle number 9.

Thistle kick the second half off. Huge 45 minutes ahead. 

 
45’Kick-Off (2nd half)
45’Half Time Report

Thistle are pegged back by Hamilton, who finish the half the stronger side, after Brian Graham's header from a Kyle Turner cross had given Thistle a deserved lead that they failed to build on. 

 
45’Half-Time
 
44’

Again it is a poor effort from Smith and Thistle have a goal kick. 

 
43’

Smith is fouled on the left hand side about 10 yards from the edge of the Thistle box. Another anxious moment. 

 
42’

It's a poor free kick from Smith though who sends the ball tamely over Mitchell's crossbar. 

 
41’

Docherty bundles over Smith and Hamilton have a free kick just a yard or so outside the Thistle box and at a good angle for a shot. 

 
40’

Lawson pushes the ball out wide to Tumilty who cuts in before sending in a shot that isn't too far off target. 

 
39’

Thistle don't deal well with Smith's corner and it breaks to McGowan whose shot is blocked by Brownlie. Home side are on top at the moment.

It's been coming and it's a deserved lead for Thistle. Turner lifts a cross towards the back post and Graham is there to nod home. 

26’Thistle corner from the left
 
26’

It's a great save from Futon that denies Muirhead a goal after Turner finds Docherty at the edge of the box with his corner.

Mitchell gets a strong hand to Smith's corner but Hamilton remain on the attack. 

23’Hamilton Academical corner from the left

Lawless sweeps a great pass out to Fitzpatrick on the left but there are no takers for his low cross. 

 
21’

Thistle concede possession cheaply inside their own half and the ball is worked to Martin but he sends a tame effort wide of Mitchell's goal. 

 
17’

Fulton claims a Fitzpatrick cross at his front post as Thistle press for the game's opening goal. 

 
16’

Wonderful chance for Thistle. It's a great through ball that finds Fitzpatrick. He's only got Fulton to beat which he does but the ball goes inches wide of goal. 

 
13’

A Winter snap shot goes over Mitchell's crossbar. 

12’Thistle Booking - Ross Docherty
11’Hamilton Academical Booking - Reghan Tumilty
 
09’

Thistle are so close to taking the lead. Turner's corner is cleared but he gets the ball back. This time his cross finds Brownlie whose header comes off the post. The loose ball falls to Muirhead who sees his shot cleared off the line. 

08’Thistle corner from the left
 
04’

Chance for Thistle. Turner crosses from the right that Graham catches on the volley but it is just too close to Fulton. 

 
03’

Zanatta sweeps a pass out wide to Tumilty on the right and it takes a good clearance from Brownlie to get the ball clear. 

 
02’

McMillan offers a threat down the right but his cross bounces off a defender and back off McMillan. Promising start all the same from Thistle. 

 
01’

Aidan Fitzpatrick shows some early threat down the left but his powerful cross goes out for a goal kick. 

 
00’

Hamilton get the game underway. Thistle defending the goal directly in front of the away end in the first half. 

 
00’Kick-Off
 
00’Introduction

Just three games of the regular league season remain and there is much to play for at both ends of the table meaning that both sides this afternoon and a bright but breezy Hamilton are desperate for three points. 

Injury rules out Scott Tiffoney, so often a matchwinner against Accies, and he is replaced by Aidan Fitzpatrick in the only change to Kris Doolan's side from that that drew with Ayr United last weekend.
