    Dundee Utd v Partick Thistle (19:45)

    Jim Goodwin has made three changes to the Dundee United side that suffered a shock opening defeat to fourth-tier Spartans.

    The defence is unchanged, but Craig Sibbald and Declan Glass replace Liam Grimshaw and Archie Meekison in midfield.

    The final switch sees young forward Kai Fotheringham come in for Glenn Middleton in attack.

    New signing Louis Moult is on the bench.
