Partick Thistle shared the spoils at the Wyre Stadium at Firhill today, with a 1-1 draw against Arbroath in the William Hill Scottish Championship.
Thistle were reunited with the Angus side after a season apart which saw Arbroath bounce straight back up from League 1 after relegation the season prior.
The Red Lichties have continued the good form which saw them win the League 1 title last season, coming into this fixture fourth in the table.
Thistle were in similarly good form, undefeated since the start of August, having won their previous five league games, sitting in second place.
There was a familiar face in the opposition line-up, with two spell Jag Aaron Muirhead making his return to Firhill after departing the club in the summer following a loan spell with the Gayfield men at the end of last season.
Paddy Reading and Oisin Smyth returned to the starting line-up for Thistle, having missed our gritty 1-0 win over Queen’s Park in the week. Cammy Logan and Ben Stanway dropped to the bench to accommodate them.
Joining them on the bench was Sean McArdle, getting his first taste of Firhill after signing from Celtic on a season-long loan deal in the week.
Thistle have cultivated a reputation this season for high intensity starts to games, and early goals. Today was no different, with Logan Chalmers giving them the lead on six minutes.
Some excellent link-up play between Aidan Fitzpatrick and Tony Watt, enabled Fitzy to lay off a pass for CHALMERS on the right hand side of the penalty area.
Chalmers then curled his first time shot past Arbroath keeper Aidan McAdams to put the Jags into the lead in style.
Thistle continued to play their fearless brand of football in search of a second, peppering the Arbroath box with chance after chance.
McAdams was working overtime to keep the score down, in particular, making a great save from Reading’s long range effort on 15 minutes.
On 28 minutes, the Arbroath shot-stopper looked to be clipped by the boot of Robbie Crawford, and went down in considerable pain.
After several minutes of treatment from both sides’ physio team, McAdams was able to shake it off and resume play.
The last 10/15 minutes of the half saw both teams find it difficult to create chances in the swirling wind, with the game feeling more like it was taking place at Costa Del Gayfield than it did Maryhill.
Half Time – Partick Thistle 1 Arbroath 0
Despite leading Thistle weren’t out of the woods yet though, as Arbroath started to find their way into the game in the second half.
Arbroath fired a few warning shots across the bows before Finlay Marshall looked poised to equalise on 57 minutes, but the midfielder struck his effort wide.
He would make no mistake four minutes later, as Arbroath made it 1-1. The ball flashed across the home box and when Josh Clarke failed to gather Marshall was there to pounce and hit home for 1-1.
The goal was the wake-up call Thistle needed and substitute Kyle Turner forced McAdams into two great saves to keep it level.
The visitors were also out to get in front and Clarke showed his class as he pushed away Nikolay Todorov’s header and tipped over a shot from Jacob McIntyre.
Thistle were to finish the stronger and Alex Samuel, who had looked lively after coming on was unlucky to not score after he found himself with a point blank header a few yards out, but McAdams managed to divert it round the post.
Chalmers had an opening seven minutes from time when a gorgeous ball from Stevie Lawless found him at the back post eight yards out.
However, he was unable to get the ball under his spell and McAdams was able to get the ball in his grasp.
Despite the pressure late on, Thistle were unable to make the breakthrough, with Dan O’Reilly having a header cleared off the line moments before time.
Mark Wilson’s men had to settle for a point on a day where leaders St Johnstone also dropped points at home to Ayr and third placed Raith Rovers were defeated away to Ross County.
Full Time – Partick Thistle 1 Arbroath 1
Thistle will look to bounce back in their next game a week today. They travel to Cappielow to face Greenock Morton next Saturday, with a 3PM kick off.

William Hill Championship 
Wyre Stadium at Firhill, Glasgow
Thistle fail to build on the early goal provided by Logan Chalmers and have to settle for a point following a 1-1 draw.
A Lawless shot is blocked.
Into added time.
Man of the Match: Logan Chalmers
Time starting to run out on Thistle in the search of a winner.
Todorov's header from Dow's corner drops into the arms of Clarke.
It's a great ball to the back post that finds Chalmers. Chalmers though doesn't make great contact and that allows McAdams to save.
The Turner corner is cleared.
Thistle try and break through Chalmers after the corner is cleared.
Clarke again with a save. This time tipping a shot over the bar.
Clarke has to dive to his right to get a hand to the ball to keep out a header from a free kick.
McAdams again with the save.
McAdams gets a hand to a low Turner shot.
A great run from Fitzpatrick creates a shooting chance for Turner and he sees his effort pushed away by McAdams.
Fitzpatrick's corner curls a little in the wind but it is still an easy take for McAdams.
Marshall is there to fire home after the ball squirms from Clarke's grasp.
Dow's corner eventually goes behind for a goal kick. Arbroath though appeal for another corner.
Some carelessness creeping into Thistle's play and Marshall drags a shot wide of goal.
Lets'osa and then Crawford get the ball clear.
Arbroath win a free kick down near the right hand corner flag. Some defending for Thistle to do.
It's good football from Thistle that creates an opening for Lets'osa to cross but he can't find a Thistle man with his cross.
Chalmers clips over a cross from the right. Reading is on the end of it but doesn't make clean contact with his shot and McAdams makes an easy save.
No changes from either side at the break.
Thistle deservedly lead at the break and there has been much to be impressed with in that first half display.
There's just been one goal though and there have been a few, particularly as the half wore on, uncomfortable moments too.
Into first half added time. I suspect we are looking at about 5 minutes of that.
Smyth picks up McAdams' clearance that holds up in the wind. He has Fitzpatrick to his left and Watt to his right but goes for goal himself. It's a poor effort though that goes high over the bar.
Ashcroft takes charge and heads the corner clear.
A Steven shot is deflected just inches wide of goal. The Arbroath fans certainly thought it was going in.
McAdams makes an easy save from a Watt header.
Steven seeing Clarke off his line tries a shot from nearly 40 yards out. It sails wide of goal.
It's a terrible corner from Steven.
And he's quickly back into action saving Chalmers shot low to his left.
McAdams is back up and able to continue. He immediately tries to pinch a few yards with the free kick to restart the game.
The delay continues as McAdams is still receiving treatment. The sub keeper is warming up. Unsure if he will be required or not.
Break in play as McAdams, who looks to be caught by the boot of Crawford, receives some treatment.
Chalmers takes the free kick. Ashcroft is able to get a foot to the ball but it loops over the bar and drops onto the top of the net.
McPherson is clipped and Thistle will have a chance to get the ball in the box from the free kick.
McAdams again in action. This time his save from a low Reading effort is much more routine.
Smyth smashes in a shot from long range that McAdams does well to push away from goal.
Chalmers and Fitzpatrick work a short corner with O'Reilly coming close to making contact with Fitzpatrick's whipped in cross.
The free kick goes all the way to Kabongolo. He can't manage a shot and Thistle scramble clear. Arbroath pick the ball up again and there is a shot from Wilkie but it is sliced well wide of goal
O'Reilly is late with a tackle and Arbroath have a free kick wide on the right hand side.
Another early goal. It's good link up play between Fitzpatrick and Watt. Fitzpatrick lays a pass to the feet of Chalmers at the right hand side of the box and he bends a shot beyond McAdams and into the net.
No chances yet but Thistle have started in a positive fashion.
Arbroath kick the game off. Thistle shooting towards the John Lambie Stand in the first half.
It's a blustery Firhill and it remains to be seen if Storm Amy will have any impact on the 90 minutes to come as Thistle aim to record a sixth straight league win with 4th place Arbroath the visitors to Maryhill.
Head Coach Mark Wilson has made two changes to the side that started against Queen's Park on Tuesday night.
Paddy Reading and Oisin Smyth both missed that game but both are fit and return to the starting eleven.
Cammy Logan and Ben Stanway are the unlucky duo who drop to the bench for this one where they are joined by new loan signing Sean McArdle.
