  1. Crackin' pen.

    High up to the right. 1-0 Thistle.

  2. Aaron Muirhead up first for Thistle.

    The penalties are being taken towards the home support, apparently due to police recommendation.

  3. Malky Mackay is trying to rouse the home support.

    The Thistle fans are still in fine voice.

  4. Fair play to anyone who hits a pen here.

    I have no affiliation to either of these teams and I'm a nervous wreck for them.

  5. FULL-TIME: Ross County 3-1 Partick Thistle (agg 3-3)

    Penalties it is.

    A sentence you never thought you'd see an hour ago.

  6. Ross County 3-1 Partick Thistle (agg 3-3)

    Neil Doncaster is at this game. Someone ask him.

  8. Ross County 3-1 Partick Thistle (agg 3-3)

    Offttt, that's another chance.

    Young Jamie Williamson can't make a clean connection with his head at the back post.

    Huge opportunity for County.

  9. Ross County 3-1 Partick Thistle (agg 3-3)

    Keith Watson, what a tackle!

    He stops Danny Mullen on the edge of the box. The Thistle sub was clean through.

  10. Ross County 3-1 Partick Thistle (agg 3-3)

    The game of the season has been saved for the final day.

    Perfection.

    What a chance!

    Kris Doolan doesn't show much emotion on the sidelines, but here he is just staring up to sky after that miss.

  12. CLOSE!

    Ross County 3-1 Partick Thistle (agg 3-3)

    What. A. Chance.

    Brian Graham does everything right. It's the perfect set up. He holds off his man on the six-yard line then rolls the ball to Stuart Bannigan.

    But he skies over from a tight angle.

  13. Ross County 3-1 Partick Thistle (agg 3-3)

    How some of these players, Thistle especially, still have the energy is incredible.

    In this heat as well.

  14. Can you believe it?

  15. Ross County 3-1 Partick Thistle (agg 3-3)

    Brian Graham completely misses his clearance from Jack Baldwin's long throw.

    It eventually gets cleared but County want a handball. Nothing given.

  16. Ross County 3-1 Partick Thistle (agg 3-3)

    Neither side is settling for pens. End to end stuff still.

  17. Ross County 3-1 Partick Thistle (agg 3-3)

    Michael Stewart
    Former Hearts midfielder on BBC Sportsound

    That's a real chance.

  18. Ross County 3-1 Partick Thistle (agg 3-3)

    He has to hit the target,

    Danny Mullen gets the break of the ball but he nearly clears the stand with his finish.

    There's no excuse for him, he's just on.

  19. KICK-OFF

    Ross County 3-1 Partick Thistle (agg 3-3)

    Thistle sub. Steven Lawless off for Danny Mullen.

    A bit of energy in the visitors' attack.

  20. HALF-TIME: Ross County 3-1 Partick Thistle (agg 3-3)

    Let's be honest, extra time can sometimes be a snoozefest.

    This has been anything but. Gripping stuff.
