🗣️What ATS had to say: "They pose a lot of threats from different areas of the pitch – but so do we. We’re the home team, we’ll be looking to stamp our authority on the game and impose our style."

🎤Presser review📝:

🗣️ What McKinnon had to say: "They’re a good team, and obviously they got a really good result at the weekend there. They’ve scored a lot of goals, so I’m sure they’ll be up for it – but the boys will be ready for that."

🤕 Squad news: Cammy Bruce, Craig Ross, Rhys Armstrong, Dylan McDonald and Alex King will all miss tonight's game.

🔍One to watch: Logan Chalmers is a player who has been haunting Airdrie for the past three years during his spell at Ayr and now Partick Thistle. The winger has nine goals for the Jags in all competitions this season.

Dan O'Reilly was able to get a goal back for the Jags with a header past Matty Connelly. Alex Samuel was able to win the game for the visitors with just minutes left in the game.

🔙Last time out: Partick Thistle ran out 2-1 winners the last time these two met on the Friday night slot. Airdrie nudged ahead early on after a goal from Cole McKinnon, who endeared himself to all Airdrie fans.

Partick Thistle come into this one off the back of a 5-0 demolition of Queen's Park. Aaron Taylor-Sinclair played for the visitors 99 times. Mark Wilson also has a history with Airdrie, with Wilson managing The Diamonds during the 16-17 season.

Airdrie will be aiming to get back-to-back home victories for the first time since February with interim manager Aaron Taylor-Sinclair trying to lift The Diamonds off bottom spot. Airdrie lost 3-0 to St Johnstone last week thanks to a Sidibeh hat trick.

The visitors manager has also gained plaudits recently, with Wilson being announced as SPFL Championship Manager of the Month for October.

Sadly, probably a 1-2 or 1-3. Thought we were very unlucky to take no points from our last televised match with Thistle a couple of months ago, but feels like the situation for both teams has really changed since then, and can unfortunately see this being a deserved defeat. But hope springs eternal!

A scrappy one goal win……

🤕 Squad news: Lewis McGrattan, Cammy Bruce, Craig Ross, Rhys Armstrong, Liam Mcstravick, Charlie Telfer, Dylan McDonald and Alex King will all miss today's game.

🔍One to watch: Josh Mcpake is grabbing the headlines for St Johnstone this season with the 24 year old scoring 9 goals and topping the Championship scoring charts.

Airdrie weren't able to respond until the 74th minute when Cammy Cooper was able to give the Diamonds a flicker of hope for the last fifteen minutes. As the full time whistle blew tempers flared with Reid and Diabate both being sent off.

🔙Last time out: St Johnstone won in this fixture the last time out. St Johnstone started the game strongly with two goals in the first twenty minutes from Gullan and Diabate.

Aaron Taylor Sinclair maintained his unbeaten record as caretaker manager last week after a draw against Queen's Park earlier on in the season and a win against Arbroath.

Simo Valakari has received a lot of credit for his team's performances this season with the Saints manager winning the manager of the month award twice already this season.

St Johnstone still sit at the top of the table, three points clear of Partick Thistle. Airdrie currently sit 10th in the table. St Johnstone come into this one after an impressive 4-0 win over Morton last week.
