Arbroath vs Partick Thistle – Match Preview
cinch Scottish Championship – Game 26 – Season 2022/2023
Saturday 25th February 2023, Gayfield Park, Arbroath, 3.00pm kick off
Arbroath welcome Partick Thistle to Gayfield today and former Lichtie Kris Doolan, who has taken over the reigns as Interim Manager.
It was a winning start last Saturday for Kris who defeated Ayr United after stepping up from U18 Coach to replace Ian McCall.
For the visitors experienced striker Brian Graham returns from suspension, but there are doubts over Kevin Holt, Cammy Smith and former loan Lichtie Anton Dowds.
Arbroath will hope that Sean Adarkwa has recovered from his heavy landing on the concrete at the Balmoral Stadium last Saturday, whilst Toyosi Olusanya will be hoping to get on the scoresheet at Gayfield.
All the matches are now huge, so we do hope you will be behind the team and cheer them on from the terraces.
