Spartans come into this new season having finished 9th place, 3 points above relegated
Hamilton Accies at the bottom. Being drawn into a relegation battle wasn’t on the cards for the Edinburgh side, who had a change in management midway through the season as Debbi McCulloch stepped down and Jack Beesley took charge.
Spartans have been heavy on the recruitment over the summer, bringing in the likes of Keira Chuter from Celtic on a loan deal, and securing permanent moves for Maria Reynolds from Shamrock Rovers and Emma Thompson from Southampton. Former Thistle loanee Aimee Anderson also made the switch to Ainslee Park following her departure from Hearts.
The Edinburgh outfit managed to keep a hold of some big names as well with Hannah Jordan, Sarah Clelland and Mya Bates just a few who have opted to remain with the club.
Thistle picked up a couple players from Spartans during our recruitment over the summer with Hannah Robinson and Caley Gibb making the move to Red and yellow with both having impressed over preseason and the opening matches of our campaign.
Thistle’s first away day of the season was a difficult one for many reasons. Facing a team who had won 11-0 just a week prior was always going to be tough but going down 1-0 within a minute and a half having not touched the ball in that time made the uphill battle even trickier.
For the rest of the game, Thistle struggled to match the flow and tempo set by Rangers as Katie Wilkinson grabbed a hat trick, making it 7 goals in 2 games for the Gers striker, with Chelsea Cornet also scoring in the match leaving the scoreline 4-0. A match the girls are eager to put in the past as attention switches straight to Spartans.
Strong Followings from the Red and Yellow army helped our girls massively last season, and a midweek trip to the capital is one where the support can make a massive impact. We hope to see as many of you through in Edinburgh for this match as possible.
Courtney Stewart will miss out as she recovers from her injury against Rangers while Kodie Hay and Cheryl McCulloch remain out with their ongoing injuries.
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 on the road against Spartans.
