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

It's been an odd first half. 

There's been chances at both ends. Some good football from both teams but also both teams have been guilty of slackness. 

Brian Graham, who had a goal disallowed on the stroke of half-time for offside, missed the best chance for Thistle heading over a McMillan cross. 

At the other end he denied Ayr a goal inside the first couple of minutes when he cleared off the line. 

 
45’Half-Time
 
45’

Graham has the ball in the net after Fitzpatrick's shot falls into his path but his celebrations are cut short by the flag for offside. 

 
41’

Chalmers can't get enough bend on his shot to get it away from the reach of Mitchell. 

 
38’

A gem of a pass from McInroy finds McMillan inside the box. Clarke though is able to block McMillan's shot. 

 
36’

Ngwenya puts over a cross from the left that Graham can't get the required contact to.

34’Thistle corner from the right

34’

Ayr work a short corner. When the ball does come in there is a flick and Mitchell has to get down and save. 

33’Ayr United corner from the left
 
26’

Thistle pick the ball up again after McGinty heads clear McInroy's corner. Fitzpatrick has the ball on the right and his cross is headed wide by Graham. 

25’Thistle corner from the right
 
23’

Chalmers takes advantage of some hesitation at the back from Thistle. His shot from outside the box is well struck but doesn't cause Mitchell any undue problems. 

 
22’

McInroy makes a really important intervention inside the Thistle box after Amartey nearly creates an opening for Ayr. 

 
21’

An excellent first corner from McInroy leads to a second. The second isn't ass good but nearly leads to a chance for Graham but the flag goes up for offside. 

21’Thistle corner from the right
20’Thistle corner from the right
 
18’

Musonda has another pop at the Thistle goal from outside the box. This time the ball is drifting well wide of Mitchell's left hand post. 

 
17’

Muirhead has to step in and clear after Amartey gets round the side of Ngwenya. 

 
15’

He can miss. McMillan puts a cross right onto the head of Graham but his header with most people expecting the net to bulge, goes over the bar. 

 
14’

After a slow start, Thistle are just starting to get into some kind of stride. It's still a bit flat though. 

 
11’

McInroy is inches away from giving Thistle the lead. McMillan brushes past the challenge of Chalmers before laying the ball back to McInroy whose shot hits the side netting. 

 
06’

Chalmers finds Musonda to his right. Musonda has a pop at goal from just outside the box, but his shot is always on the rise and goes over the bar.

It's a poor free kick although Chalmers does pick up the ball on the opposite side of the pitch. 

 
04’

00’

Stuart Bannigan gets us underway. Thistle shooting towards The John Lambie Stand in the first half. 

 
00’Kick-Off
 
00’Introduction

Ayr United provide the opposition for the final home league game of the season. 

Thistle secured their play-off position with a thumping 4-0 win over Airdrie but will be looking to lock in a third place finish with three points this afternoon. 

Injury has forced manager Kris Doolan to make two changes to the side that started against Airdrie. 

Harry Milne and Ben Stanway are the two players that miss out with Kieran Ngwenya and Stuart Bannigan the two players that step in to replace them.
