Partick Thistle Jangling nerves

- Raymond Stark

Never has the phrase “squeaky bum time” been more apt as we head towards the end of the Championsh­ip. After the midweek results it’s looking like 40 points is the magic number. With only four points separating sixth from tenth it really is going to be a nail biter of a finish.

After 25 minutes of Thistle’s game on Saturday things were looking grim for us, 2-0 down and no signs of a comeback. But fair play to the boys, they rolled their sleeves up and battled back to get a draw. In fact, had it not been for the heroics of Ryan Scully in the Dunfermlin­e goal the Jags would have taken all three points which would have put us nearer our target. We have arguably the more difficult run-in on paper, but you never know in this league.
