Partick Thistle vs Greenock Morton preview - Eight missing for Thistle

Partick's interim manager Jackie McNamara has selection worries for the visit of a Morton side his men have yet to beat this season.

Midfielder David Rowson is suspended following his red card in midweek against Falkirk and he will join the injured Simon Donnelly, Ryan MacBeth, Iain Flannigan, John Robertson, Bryan Hodge, Paul Paton and Colin Stevenson on the sidelines.

McNamara said: "I have had a draw and a defeat since I came in and it would be great to get a win now and complete the set.

"I have taken training all week now and while we are short of numbers we will go out and give it a real go and hopefully get that win over Morton."

Morton are again without the attacking duo of Kevin Kelbie and Sean Fitzharris.

Manager Allan Moore is waiting on the fitness of full-back Kevin McKinlay and midfielder Fouad Bachirou before finalising his team.

Moore said: "Our record against Thistle has been good all season and I want that to continue.

"We have the chance to finish in fourth place in the table and a win at Firhill helps us get even closer to that. Fourth place would represent an improvement for Morton on previous seasons and I want us to achieve that.

"I am determined that things do not peter out and so should the players be as there are contracts on offer."
