Partick vs Falkirk preview - Welsh back for Thistle

Partick are boosted by the return of Sean Welsh from suspension against Falkirk.

But Aaron Muirhead looks set to miss out after being ill all week and Stephen O'Donnell continues to be absent due to an ankle problem.

Thistle are looking for a first win in five matches and manager Jackie McNamara said: "There is not too much wrong with our play and the only criticism I can give the players is that we are not taking our chances.

"The last time we played Falkirk they stifled the game and we had to settle for a goalless draw. I would reckon that we will be facing that same approach again."

Hamilton are without captain Alex Neil who is starting a three-game ban after being sent off for the third time this season in the 2-1 win over Cowdenbeath last Saturday.

Stephen Hendrie is available after three months out with a groin injury, but Jon McShane and Kieran Millar remain out with knee injuries.

New Douglas Park manager Billy Reid said: "After taking no points from six against Raith, this is a game we would really like to win and move closer to them in the table.

"We will miss our skipper but the key to this game will be keeping their striker Brian Graham quiet. He has been terrific goalscoring form this season."
