Partick Thistle v Dundee United betting preview, free tip & TV channel

BBC Scotland, 7.05pm Friday

Dundee United can top off a miserable week for Partick Thistle at Firhill.

The Jags suffered a major blow when lottery winner Colin Weir pulled the plug on his funding after a row with the board, and Thistle were embarrassingly without even a team bus for last week's trip to Alloa.

Their worries could increase when they play a United side who must think they've won the lottery themselves with the signing of hotshot Lawrence Shankland.

The former Ayr United striker opened his league campaign last week with a four-goal blitz against Inverness.

Thistle are no mugs and Firhill can be a tricky place to go, but United should score at least two.
