47 mins: Rovers are close to a goal. A free kick from the left is glanced wide of goal by Danny Cole.

45 mins: Rovers get the second half underway.

Thistle haven't made any changes at the break but Rovers have brought on Wayne Brown and Darryl Duffy with Jo Kuffor and Chris Lines the men replaced.

It's been a pretty typical pre-season match so far. Both teams have moved the ball about well but neither keeper has been called into any serious action so far. Best chance a shot from Bryan Hodge that Daniels got down well to save.

HALF-TIME
