Livingston striker Joel Nouble, who spent the first half of the season with Arbroath and did much to help them challenge for promotion, still has the Red Lichties in his thoughts.

Frankie Musonda misses out for Raith Rovers against Arbroath as the defender was getting his international career off to the perfect start last night with the 24-year-old scoring in Zambia's 3-1 win over Congo on his debut.

Meanwhile, striker Niyah Jospeh, who is on the Queen of the South bench at Hamilton, is reportedly trying to get a Dominican passport, courtesy of his grandfather, so the 20-year-old can play for the Caribbean island.

Partick Thistle have only been able to name six substitutes today as injuries take their toll on his squad.

Manager Ian McCall tells BBC Sportosund: "We've been very, very lucky all season with injuries, so we can't complain. We just need to get on with it.

"If you mention it at all, everyone talks about excuses. There are a few academy boys in the bench.

"The good thing is and if we manage to make the playoffs, we have five or six players who will come back in and be fresh.

"It's the same midfield four that came down here and won, so there's no need to be too despondent."

Killie's home form has started to bear fruit since Derek McInnes' appointment, with the Ayrshire side now on top of the league and having put the chance to win the title now in their own hands.

The Kilmarnock manager tells BBC Sportsound: “We've got plenty of games to go with plenty of twists and turns too!

“We felt we had to address the home form if we were to have any chance of promotion and I'm very pleased we have.

“We’re all here for the same reason and that is to get Killie back up. My players need to enjoy playing at home. I want them waking up in the morning bursting to get here with no nerves or trepidation at all.”

Kilmarnock: Hemming, Hodson, Taylor, Stokes, Waters, McGinn, Alston, McKenzie, F. Murray, Shaw, Lafferty.

Substitutes: Walker, E. Murray, Sanders, Campbell, Glass, Lyons, Armstrong, Burke, Mackay.

Partick Thistle: Sneddon, Holt, Turner, Tiffoney, Bannigan, McKenna, Murray, Akinola, Docherty, Alegria, Hendrie.

Substitutes: Firth, Smith, Bell, Stanway, Diack, Mackle.

Inverness Caledonian Thistle: Mackay, Duffy, Welsh, Deas, Carson, Mckay, Doran, Sutherland, Broadfoot, Chalmers, McAlear.

Substitutes: Ridgers, Harper, Walsh, Samuels, Hyde.

Dunfermline Athletic: Mehmet, Todd, Donaldson, Ambrose, Edwards, Polworth, Pybus, Chalmers, Thomas, Lawless, O'Hara.

Substitutes: Comrie, Martin, Todorov, Dow, Breen, Allan, Kamwa, Cole, Archibald.

Billy Dodds' Inverness Caledonian Thistle have arrested a 11-game winless slump with two victories, scoring three times in each, to lift themselves above Partick Thistle into third spot.

Visitors Dunfermline lifted some of the weight off their shoulders with a fine midweek 4-1 win over Thistle to move three points above bottom side Queen of the South.

But that remains the only win in seven for John Hughes' side, although they will hope to take confidence from what is now a three-game unbeaten run as they look to catch Ayr United and avoid a relegation play-off.

Indeed, the Pars are unbeaten in three meetings with Caley Thistle this season, a 2-1 win in their last visit in November being sandwiched between two home draws.
