History of the Partick Thistle v Queen of the South fixture

Queen o.t.S. face a trip to Partick Thistle at Firhill Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The The Doonhamers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 24 and win only 11 of the 45 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in April 2007, when they played out a goalless draw in a Scottish Division One match.
