Match Preview: Queen’s Park vs Partick Thistle

The Spiders return to Hampden on Saturday for the Glasgow Derby as Partick Thistle make the short trip across the city for the William Hill Championship clash.

This will be the second meeting between the sides this season with the Jags having run out 3-0 winners when the teams met at Firhill eight weeks ago. 

Since then The Spiders have been unbeaten in seven matches in all competitions, a run which Callum Davidson’s squad will be looking to build on and continue when Thistle come calling. 

Ahead of the game the club media team caught up with the gaffer and Henry Fieldson at Lochinch to get their thoughts.

The season so far
Last Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Stark’s Park saw The Spiders complete the first quarter of the William Hill Championship season with 15 points on the board from the opening nine matches. That points tally leaves Callum Davidson’s side sitting fourth in the table, with this weekend’s opposition one place behind on 13 points, having played one game more. 

The Jags, who are unbeaten in their last three, go into the match on the back of their own positive result last weekend where they recorded a 2-1 win against Airdrieoninans at Firhill. That result came on the back of draws against both Falkirk and Livingston in the week’s previous.
