    Thistle have had plenty to work with recently, they’ve really turned the screw in the last 15 minutes or so and have Raith up against the ropes.

    The Kirkcaldy club are rolling with the punches, though. Yet to be thrown to the canvas completely.

    I was just praising the Raith defence, but Scott Brown gets caught there.

    What an opportunity.

    Oh my word, this is getting silly.

    Another fantastic delivery finds Brian Graham, who you'd fully expect to stick it away.

    It's just over the bar with the help of a tip from Kevin Dabrowski.

    Excellent desire from Scott Brown to head away as Thistle come again.

    A huge six minutes or so in the title race. United fans, you watching?

    That's another great chance for Thistle.

    Brilliant ball in from Steven Lawless is headed just wide. How haven't they scored this evening?

    And here's a double change for Thistle.

    Scott Robinson and Aaron Muirhead off for Ben Stanway and Stuart Bannigan.

    Two midfielders on, a forward and a defender off. Sounds like a change of shape to me.

    Zak Rudden and Callum Smith are introduced for Raith Rovers, with Jack Hamilton trudging off alongside Aidan Connolly.

    We're about to have a raft of changes, so let me get my spreadsheet out.

    Another sight at goal for Brian Graham with a big cross into the box. Again, the visitors scramble to clear.

    Thistle have to make the most of this pressure.

    Aidan Fitzpatrick is absolutely furious not to be awarded a free-kick has he goes down on the edge of the box.

    More groans. More grumbles.

    Do Raith have the mentality to hold on?

    Do Thistle have the guile to break through?

    And that's an even bigger chance for Ricco Diack.

    A brilliantly fizzed ball from Aidan Fitzpatrick meets the 18-year-old, but the connection is all wrong.

    Thistle growing into this a bit.

    The frustration is palpable. The groans are audible.

    Firhill isn't a happy camp at the moment.

    Rico Diack has only been on the park a few minutes, but that's already a decent chance.

    An extended spell in the attacking third sees Thistle sling the ball to the back stick.

    The forward chests it down and goes for the volley, but watches it sail wide.

  16. 'Raith comfortable'published at 68 mins

    You get the impression Raith Rovers are comfortable despite only being one goal in front.

    I'm sure they'd like a second to extend the gap, but you don't feel they're desperate for it.

    First change of the evening as young Rico Diack replaces Kerr McInroy.

    How much was in that?

    A long ball over the top leaves Lewis Neilson and Jack Hamilton tussling, with the ball missing both of them and allowing Sam Stanton through on goal.

    The referee decides there was a shove on the Thistle defender. Close one.

    Sam Stanton, that is brave.

    He thunders one at goal after taking the ball out the sky. Nowhere near it, but given some of the goals Raith have scored this season, worth a go.

    Scott Robinson has sight of goal again as the ball breaks to him in the box.

    He slaps a volley off a Rovers defender and behind for a another set-piece.

    The forward is claiming for handball, but it's point-blank range.
