Arbroath vs Partick Thistle – Match Preview
cinch Scottish Championship – Game 24 – Season 2021/2022
Tuesday 1st March 2022, Gayfield Park, Arbroath, 7.30pm kick off
We welcome Ian McCall’s Partick Thistle to Gayfield tonight for our 3rd meeting of the season, this match was originally meant to be played on Saturday 29th January.
It will be another tough game with the Jags having added in the experienced Robbie Crawford from Motherwell, as well as Andy Firth and Juan Alegria from Rangers and Kyle McAllister from St Mirren and Alex Jakubiak arriving on loan from Dundee.
There has been 5 departures with top scorer Zak Rudden joining Dundee, Ross MacIver joining Alloa Athletic whilst Jake Hastie and Harry Stone ad their loans ended from Rangers and Hearts respectively with Shea Gordon joining Queen of the South on loan.
Arbroath Manager Dick Campbell probably will be again without Nicky Low and the suspended Gavin Swankie, but everyone else should be available for selection.
This is a huge game in how the season could go and another extremely tough match but we hope you can get right behind the team from the very start.
