PARTICK THISTLE 0, DUNDEE 0

FULL-TIME

90 mins+: A Sliced clearance gives Dundee a corner. Knocked back across goal but cleared. 

90 mins: Kris Doolan streches to reach a cross from the right and if his header is more than an inch wide I would be surprised. 

89 mins: Scott Robertson is booked and Dundee have a free kick in a central position about 30 yards from goal. Conroy gets the ball round the wall but Scott Fox is right behind the ball. 

87 mins: Man of the Match: David Rowson. 

86 mins: Neil McGregor is booked for a foul on Kris Doolan and Thistle have a free kick on the left corner of the box. Cairney floats it in and just for a second it looks as if it might go beyond Douglas but the Dundee keeper grabs hold of it. 

83 mins: Thistle break through David Rowson and knocks the ball to Kal Naismith on his right. Nasimith though can't quite get the ball in his stride and Douglas is first to reach it. 

79 mins: A corner on the other side this time. Cairney's effort though is far too close to Douglas. 

78 mins: Stephen O'Doonell does well down the right and forces a corner for Thistle. Thistle though are unable to make anything of the corner. 

75 mins: Kris Doolan is looking really lively and he tries to angle a shot wide of Douglas but the Dundee keeper is able to save. 

73 mins: Thistle really pressing and have a corner on the left. Douglas plams it clear but only as far as Chris Erskine who sees his shot blocked with immediate appeals for handball. 

72 mins: Douglas again underlines what a good goalkeeper he is with a splendid point blank range save from aKris Doolan header. 

71 mins: Double switch for Thistle. Chris Erskine and Kris Doolan come on for Christie Elliott and Tommy Stewart. 

69 mins: Christie Elliott cuts inside but from 25 yards out send a shot high over the bar. 

66 mins: Scott Fox makes an important grab at his near post to collect a driven cross from Jamie McCluskey. 

65 mins: Dundee win themselves a somewaht fortunate corner kick. A Dundee head gets tto the corner but the ball drops wide of goal. 

63 mins: O'Donnell is back up and back on the park. 

62 mins: Thistle do come forward this time and Aaron Sinclair's cross to the back post finds Stephen O'Donnell whose header is blocked by Rab Douglas. O'Donnell takes a knock in the process and the physio is on. 

61 mins: Dundee have a corner on the right hand side. It goes deep and Thistle clear and try, unsuccessfully, to break forward. 

60 mins: Tommy Stewart flicks the ball through to Christie Elliott who is clear on goal but the flag quickly goes up for offside. 

57 mins: Scott Fox makes an excellent save to keep out a Ryan Conroy shot and just as importantly grabs the ball before a Dundee player can reach the rebound. 

55 mins: Paul Cairney plays a nice ball through  to Tommy Stewart and his ball across goal is cleared for a corner. Thistle work a short corner, the ball eventually going to Paul Paton who from 30 yards shoots over the bar. 

52 mins: Neither side have managed to create a chance so far in the second half. 

Back underway

Crowd: 2,425

HALF-TIME

45 mins: Heading towards first half injury time. Thistle have probably been the better side for the last 15 minutes or so but neither side has been able to make a breakthrough yet. 

39 mins: Kal Naismith plays a ball across the Dundee penalty box but there is no Thistle player to get on the end of the cross. 

36 mins: With the wind gusting Thistle struggle to get the ball clear and it falls to McCluskey who from the edge of the box shoots wide of goal. 

34 mins: Dundee corner on the left taken by O'Donnell. It hangs in the air but Thistle get it clear and break. Elliott goes up the right and has man, Tommy Stewart, over and in space. Elliott's cross reaches Stewart but there is too much height on his shot and it goes over the bar. 

33 mins: Game has settled into a much more even affair. Naismith wide on left of midfield with Elliott and Stewart up front. Cairney in a central position in midfield. 

22 mins: First positive sign from Thistle. Tommy Stewart does really well to turn at the edge of the box and his shot is about a foot wide of the post. Douglas did look to have it covered though. 

Experiencing a few technical issues this afternoon. Please bare with us. 

16 mins: And Dundee close again to a goal. Gavin Rae shoots from the edge of the box and Scott Fox has to be alert to push the ball round the post for a corner. When the corner comes over it breaks to McCluskey but he can only shoot tamely wide of goal. 

15 mins: Dundee have been the better side so far and Steven Milne gets in behind the Thistle defence again. Aaron Sinclair is quickly across though and he gets the ball clear. 

9 mins: Another near thing for Dundee. Paul Paton conceeds possession on the half way line. Steven Milne takes the ball forward and from the edge of the box shoots wide of goal. 

7 mins: The Thistle goal receives a major escape. With Dundee players almost lining up to put the ball in the net the ball is cleared off the the Thistle goalline. 

5 mins: Quiet opening so far with the strong wind causing problems. Tommy Stewart operating just behind a front two of Christie Elliott and Kal Naismith. 

1 min: The ball breaks to David Rowson about 30 yards from goal. He decides to hit the ball first time but his effort is off target. Worth an effort all the same. 

o mins: Thistle will be shooting towards the north stand in the first half. Dundee kick the game off. 

PRE-MATCH NEWS: Thistle have made three changes ahead of today's game with Dundee. Alan Archibald misses out through suspension with Scott Robertson coming in at centre back. Up front Tommy Stewart and Christie Elliott, both of whom netted for the reserves during the week, start in place of Kris Doolan and Kieran Burns.
