Match preview

Ayr United can take advantage of Partick Thistle's curious TV stage fright when the sides meet at Firhill in the Ladbrokes Championship.

Thistle are on a remarkable run of 26 live TV league games without a win and there's added spice with former Ayr boss Ian McCall in charge of the Jags.

On paper, the Maryhill side significantly strengthened their squad in the transfer window with the addition of Brian Graham, Darian MacKinnon and Zak Rudden, while Darren Brownlie signed this week.

But they are bottom of the league and United are in fine form under Mark Kerr and have a settled squad capable of winning.

Key stat

Thistle have the division's worst home record and haven't kept a league clean sheet.
