🆚 Our Opponents: Queen’s Park

Queens Park come into this match in poor form having lost their last six games on the bounce.

Craig Joyce’s side currently sit 11th in the table having won the SWPL2 last season.

Having won the SWPL2 comfortably last season, QP heavily recruited as they tried to build a squad capable of surviving relegation. Morgan Graham and Chloe Muir joined from Hamilton Accies, former Jag Jordan McLintock made the switch from Killie while Rachel Wright and Rosie McQuillan remained in Glasgow following their departures from Partick Thistle last season.

Alongside this, they kept some key talent in their squad with Ellie Kane, Emma Craig and Abby Callaghan being among the title winners to stick together for this campaign.

Coincidentally, Brian Graham’s first victory as Partick Thistle Women’s manager came against Queens Park 4 years ago this week showing how far both clubs have come.

📈Thistle so far

Thistle’s away day to Montrose didn’t go to plan as we dropped points. Thistle couldn’t get their typical game plan up to scratch as we failed to play at the standards we know we can. Chances in the first half for Tiree Burchill and Caley Gibb came close but we couldn’t convert.

Neve Guthrie would then open the scoring for Montrose leaving a sour taste in our mouth before Carla Boyce popped up with a goal a few minutes later to grab our equaliser ending the game at one a piece.

A 1-1 draw with Montrose allowed Motherwell to jump ahead of us in the league as we now sit in the bottom half. Brian Graham spoke about how disappointed he was with that performance and now we know that we must be better moving forward.

Strong Followings from the Red and Yellow army help our girls massively. We make another return to Petershill Park, our home, having been away again for some time. We look forward to welcoming as many fans as possible for this Glasgow Derby.

🗞 Team News

In terms of injuries, it remains the same as last week with Rachel Donaldson, Kodie Hay and Courtney Stewart still out with their respective injuries

With that being said, it will be up to the gaffer and the rest of the management team to field the best possible side heading into this fixture with a game at home against Queens Park.
