Last Meeting
Dundee finished the season with a lacklustre performance in a 1-0 defeat at Dens against Partick Thistle. Kris Doolan scored the goal that ensured Thistle were safe from automatic relegation and put them into the play-off against Livingston. An understrength Dundee team couldn’t raise themselves to save the game, which the Jags saw out without too much trouble.

Partick Thistle’s Season So Far
Partick’s season with a 1-0 Betfred Cup win over Airdrieonians before travelling to Airdrie’s Excelsior for the next match where they beat Queens Park 2-1, whose Hampden Stadium was undergoing work on its pitch.
A visit to Premiership Hamilton ended 2-2, with Accies taking the bonus point in the shoot out but a 3-2 win over former tenants Clyde was enough to win the group after Hamilton had lost on penalties to Queens Park.
Thistle would go on to reach the Betfred Cup quarters after an impressive 3-2 win over Premiership Ross County but they would exit the competition after a 5-0 defeat at Celtic Park.
However Partick Championship season would start poorly with back to back 3-2 defeats to Ayr and Morton and then a 2-1 loss at home to United and picked up their first point away at Alloa at the end of August.
September started with a 2-0 Challenge Cup win at Montrose but in the league a draw at Arbroath and a 3-0 defeat to Dunfermline at Firhill would cost manager Gary Caldwell his job.
Partick turned to former Jag Ian McCall to take charge and his first match after leaving Ayr was a decent 3-1 win up at Inverness.
McCall’s first game back in Maryhill however was a 1-0 home loss to Queen of the South.
