Thistle are held to a goalless draw by a battling Dunfermline side. 

MacIver is penalised for a push as he tries to get on the end of a Tiffoney cross.

Kennedy has the ball wide on the right for Dunfermline but his cross is poor and Sneddon collects. 

Tiffoney's corner is cleared 

Into injury time.

A quick Thistle break nearly has Hastie through on goal but a defender gets back to clear. 

Bannigan plays the free kick up to the feet of Tiffoney but again there is no way through for the Thistle player. 

Thistle have a free kick wide on the left. 

Tiffoney tries to wriggle his way into the Dunfermline box but he finds his route blocked at the edge of the area. 

Tiffoney's corner is cleared. Thistle continue to press through Hastie but there is no way through for Thistle. 

We're into the last ten minutes. You wouldn't bet against a winner but that is as likely to be for Dunfermline than it is Thistle on the balance of play at the moment.

Thistle can't clear the lines and Thomas fizzes over a cross that only needs a touch to provide a goal. 

Graham is able to poke the ball towards goal when Bannigan's corner is only partially cleared but it is an easy save for Fon Williams to make. 

Sneddon tries to launch a quick Thistle counter attack when he claims Thomas' corner but the ball goes out of play. 

The best chance of the game comes the way of Dunfermline. Wighton is on goal but Sneddon spreads himself and makes himself a big target to beat and makes an excellent block. 

Rudden does really well to work the ball wide to Tiffoney on the right. His low cross finds Graham who takes a touch before seeing his shot blocked. 

Before any change can be made Smith hangs a cross into the Dunfermline box that Fon Williams claims ahead of Graham. 

Thistle are getting ready to make a change. Cammy Smith's afternoon looks as if it might be over. 

Foster has just enough pace to get the ball away from O'Hara. 

Tiffoney nearly profits from an Edwards error but his shot, with the aid of a deflection, hits the side netting. 

There is further evidence of a Dunfermline threat with a Wighton effort from the edge of the box that isn't too far wide of Sneddon's left hand post. 

There is a hint or two that Dunfermline, who have offered very little as an attacking force up to now, could be a threat. 

Foster touches the ball to Tiffoney wide to his right. Tiffoney twists himself into a position to send over a cross that Rudden heads wide. 

Sneddon takes charge and is off his line quickly to claim the corner. 

Some slack Thistle play almost lets Wighton and then Dow in for a chance. 

Connolly and the Dunfermline fans looks for a penalty as free kick is delivered into the Thistle box but the referee isn't interested.

Bannigan's corner goes deep. Tiffoney steals round the back to meet it but can't keep his shot down. 

Fon Williams makes an excellent one handed save to deny Docherty. 

It's been a promising start to the second half from Thistle. 

It's a better corner this time and the ball is headed back towards goal where Graham turns and shoots and is a little unfortunate to see his effort go over the bar. 

Although he is fouled in the process of doing so Tiffoney is able to find Holt to his left. Holt's shot is saved at his near post by Fon Williams. 

It's goalless at the break. 

Thistle have had the better of things but aside from Tiffoney effort that Fon Williams saved but couldn't hold haven't created too much in front of goal. 

Thomas thumps the free kick low towards the Thistle goal. It gets past the wall but it is an easy save from Sneddon. 

Thomas thumps that free kick goalwards. It gets through the wall but it's an easy save for Sneddon. 

Looks as if the half will finish with a Dunfermline free kick about 25 yards from the Thistle goal and in a central position. 

There's a bit of Dunfermline pressure for the first time as half time nears. Docherty heads a corner clear at the front post. 

A Bannigan free kick finds the head of Holt but his header drops over the Dunfermline crossbar. 

A headed clearance drops to Foster but he leans back as he shoots and the ball goes over the crossbar. 

It's all got a bit untidy in the last few minutes. 

Thistle break quickly from the Dunfermline corner but Tiffoney's touch is poor and a promising position comes to nothing. 

Akinola does well to nip the ball away from the advancing O'Hara. 

Smith takes this corner. It's a poor one though and is cleared at the front post. 

Bannigan steps over the free kick allowing Tiffoney to take it. He goes for placement more than power but his aim is a foot or so out and the ball goes over the bar. 

Thistle win a free kick just outside the box and just left of centre. 

Foster sends over a great cross from the right that Graham stretches for but can't reach. 

Bannigan's corner goes deep to the back post. Graham tries to keep things alive and is able to direct the ball back towards goal but it is cleared. 

Tffoney is the first player to truly threaten either goal with a fierce drive that Fon Williams saves but can't hold. 

Thistle can't seem to find their range with their passing so far. Bannigan is the latest player to overhit his pass. There is a decent tempo to Thistle's game even if the end product isn't there yet. 

Wighton turns and shoots inside the Thistle box. Sneddon saves but the flag was up for offside in any case. 

A lovely pass from Akinola finds Graham inside the box but Comrie is there is nudge the ball away. 

Mayo is a little short with a headed pass back and Sneddon has to be sharp to clear. 

More by accident than design Holt nods a Dow cross into the waiting arms of Sneddon. 

The game hasn't settled into any kind of pattern yet. Thistle have seen more of the ball but there hasn't been even the merest hint of a chance at either end yet. 

Smith and Foster combine well down the right. Foster's cross is blocked at the expense of a Thistle throw. 

The first couple of minutes have been spent almost exclusively in the Dunfermline half although nowhere near the visitors' penalty box. 

Dunfermline get the match underway. Thistle will be shooting towards the John Lambie Stand in the first half. 

Much of this weekend is a celebration of the Partick Thistle League Cup Winning side of 1971 and it is an honour to have that group of players inside the old stadium this afternoon. 

The day is about much more than looking back on an incredible day in our history. 

It's about the here and now and a league meeting with Dunfermline Athletic. 

There is little surprise that having scored ten goals in our last two league games that Ian McCall has said same again and selected the starting eleven and seven substitutes for the third game in a row. 

Dunfermline are also unchanged after snatching a draw against league leaders Kilmarnock last weekend. 

The pitch is looking perfect and there is a palpable sense of excitement in the air as kick-off nears.
