It's a fresh Premiership Play-Offs campaign and Partick Thistle are longing to get started here at Firhill Stadium. Queen's Park are guesting and this could be a stirring season opening night.
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
It's no vacation for neither Partick nor Queen's Park as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
