Spartans come into this cup match in better spirits than our match against them this time last month, as they now sit 8th in the SWPL1 with 6 points. Wins over Montrose and Aberdeen have helped gain those points as Jack Beasley will be looking to carry last week’s win into this match here.
Thistle picked up a 2-1 win this time last month against Spartans as goals from Caley Gibb, who joined from the Edinburgh club this summer, and fellow summer signing Tiree Burchill grabbed the goals.
Coincidentally, both sides met in this round on our way to the final last season where the Jags came out 2-0 winners. Goals from Cara Henderson and Linzi Taylor were enough that day at Petershill Park, and we hope for more of the same come this weekend.
Thistle’s away day to Dundee United saw a lot of action. Cara Henderson, scorer of our important goal that secured top 6 for our first time against Dundee United, slid home an effort in the 13th minute before Rosie Slater headed home a second shortly afterwards. The half ended 2-0 after Cara Henderson failed to put her penalty in the back of the net but there would be more goals to come in the second half.
Lucy Sinclair grabbed our 3rd as she got on the end of some scraps to put the ball past Beth Mowatt while Tiree Burchill finished up the Jags scoring making it back to back away victories at 4-0. Brian Graham spoke after the match about how he was pleased with the victory but felt it could have easily been double digits with the amount of chances and opportunities. Again highlighting how much more ruthless the Jags must be in front of goal as we progress.
Strong Followings from the Red and Yellow army help our girls massively. We finally return to Petershill Park, our home, having been bounced around from stadium to stadium. We’d love to fill Petershill for our return and see as many Jags fans as possible.
In terms of injuries, Kodie Hay and Courtney Stewart are still out with their respective injuries while Rebecca McAllister returns to the matchday squad having missed last weekend’s trip to Dundee.
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 Spartans.
