Raith Rovers vs Partick Thistle preview - Hill sits it out
Posted Saturday, October 15, 2011 by PA
Raith Rovers will be without suspended defender Dougie Hill for their home clash with Partick Thistle.
Winger Scott McBride will also miss out due to a knee injury, but captain Iain Davidson is expected to shake off injury.
Manager John McGlynn has the option of calling on youngsters Andrew Walls and Scott Main.
McGlynn said: "Beating Thistle would take us above them into the table and on to 12 points, which is a good return for the first nine games.
"But Thistle were very impressive against Morton and we have to watch the speed they break at."
Partick will be without Willie Kinniburgh, Scott Robertson and Iain Flannigan as they chase their first away league win of the season.
Kinniburgh has a hip injury, Robertson is sidelined with a knee problem and Flannigan is still struggling with a back complaint.
Thistle secured an impressive win over Morton before the international break and manager Jackie McNamara said: "To win 5-0 was great and to have five different goalscorers showed that it was a great team effort.
"We need to take that form on the road with us as we have not picked up enough points away from home.
"We need to hit top form again as Raith will be going all out to get themselves moving back up the table at our expense."
