Partick vs Ross County preview - Fox returns between Partick sticks
Posted Saturday, November 05, 2011 by PA
Partick goalkeeper Scott Fox will be restored to the starting XI when leaders Ross County pitch up at Firhill.
Fox has overcome the illness that kept him out of the Jags' 1-0 win at Dundee last weekend.
The Glasgow side will however continue to be without the injured Willie Kinniburgh, Scott Robertson, Ryan McBeth and Iain Flannigan.
Jackie McNamara is determined that the Dingwall outfit do not increase their seven point advantage over his side.
The Thistle boss said: "Ross County have been going really well and have opened a bit of a gap over us in the table.
"It is really important that we do not allow that gap to spread any wider as we want to keep in touch with the leaders for as long as possible."
First Division leaders Ross County look set to welcome Rocco Quinn back to their starting line-up.
The midfielder came through a reserve game in midweek with no recurrence of his thigh injury.
County will be without striker Steven Craig, who sits out again as part of his eight-match ban, and Sam Morrow, who remains out with a hamstring problem.
The table-toppers are searching for their first win at Patrick's Firhill ground in five attempts.
Manager Derek Adams said: "This is a tough game and it is our fourth tough away game in six fixtures.
"We have gone to Raith Rovers, Dundee and Morton and so far we are undefeated.
"If we come through this one with that record still intact we would all be delighted."
