    What on earth is going on?

    Blair Alston has the freedom of Kirkcaldy to burst in, unmarked, and slam home.

    Goodness gracious me. The Championship, eh?

    Oh my word, I can't keep up!

    A lovely header from Harry Milne as he gets up above his defender and lays it off beautifully Blair Alston, who slides it into the back of the net to put Thistle into the lead.

    It's a magnificent response from Partick Thistle. It looked like Raith Rovers were well in control.

  12. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 21:00 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2023

    Raith Rovers 2-1 Partick Thistle

    The Thistle players are screaming for a handball in the Raith box there, but the referee is not having anything of it.

    He doesn't know much about it. It just hits off him. Cruel for him, but it's a lifeline for Partick Thistle.

    How's your luck, Dan O'Reilly?

    The Raith centre-half is experiencing the highs and lows of the game tonight...

    OG Daniel O'Reilly

    Oh my...

    Well we have a game on our hands.

    Kerr McInroy floats in the free-kick and there's not a lot Dan O'Reilly can do as the ball ricochets into the net.

    Partick Thistle have a free kick in a really promising area.

    Blair Alston steps up and tries the shot. He goes close but it was just too high and Raith get the goal kick.

    Everything Kris Doolan said at half-time has gone straight out of the window. Sneddon's got no chance. It's brilliant again from Dylan Easton.

    That epitomises Raith Rovers under Ian Murray!

    It's all about the pressure they impose on the Thistle backline and then Dylan Easton... that's the kind of situation he dreams of. Dribble and drive.

    Some start.

    That was quick....

    Dylan Easton takes the shot from just outside the box and fires it past all the bodies in the box and the diving Thistle goalkeeper, Jamie Sneddon.

    The visitors have it all to do now.

    It is chucking it down... and I have no hood.
