PARTICK THISTLE 0, DUNDEE 2

FULL-TIME

90 mins+: Rowson does well to find room to cross but a stretching Lovell can't keep the header down.

89 mins: Corrigan puts over a cross, Douglas grabs and that prettyu much sums up Thistle's second half performance. Not lacking in effort but an easy time for Douglas and his defence.

80 mins: Just ten minutes to go and it is hard to see where Thistle are going to find a goal.

78 mins: Thistle corner. Corcoran to take this one but headed clear.

74 mins: Dundee again come close to sealing the win with McMenamin shooting wide with just Tuffey to beat.

73 mins: Nearly game over. Dundee catch Thistle on the break. With two against one Harkins ignores McMenamin to his right and shoots against the body of Tuffey.

69 mins: Chris Erskine on for Paul Cairney. Thistle badly need a goal at this point but Dundee are defending well while looking a threat on the break.

68 mins: Dundee corner. Harkins will take it. Tuffey needs two attempts to grab the ball.

66 mins: Paul Cairney gets a shot from 20 yards out all wrong. Chris Erskine is being called round another change about to come.

65 mins: Colin Cameron is lucky not to collect a second yellow card after he dumps Mark Corcoran on the Firhill pitch.

63 mins: Alan Archibald collects a yellow card.

60 mins: Corcoran puts a cross into the box. Jamie Adams flings himself at the ball but his header is straight at Douglas.

58 mins: Colin Cameron is booked for a crude challenge on Corcoran.

55 mins: Close for Thistle. Corcoran gets the break of the ball inside the box but he lashes his shot high over the bar and Douglas again isn't required to make a save.

50 mins: Double switch for Thistle. Donnelly and McKeown go off and are replaced by Kris Doolan and Martyn Corrigan.

48 mins: GOAL DUNDEE. It is two for Dundee now. The ball falls to Harkins 8 yards out and he makes no mistake with a low drive.

47 mins: Nearly a killer blow for Thistle. Harkins turns at the box and Tuffey does well to turn the shot round the post for a corner.

We're back underway at Firhill.

Thistle have been the better team but like the fixture at Dens Park they trail at the break. Thistle will require another comeback like last week to earn full points.

HALF-TIME

45 mins+: Simon Donnelly is booked.

44 mins: GOAL DUNDEE. The ball is knocked into the Thistle box. McMenamin's effort is cleared off the line by Adams but he is first to react to the loose ball and scores.

42 mins: Another Thistle corner. Cairney once more. Drops to Donnelly whose shot is deflected for another corner.

Crowd: 4,453

23 mins: Dundee win the game's first corner. Forsyth to take. Tuffey comes but doesn't get and John Robertson is well placed to clear before any Dundee player can get the ball.
