Partick Thistle vs Arbroath – Match Preview
cinch Scottish Championship – Game 06 – Season 2022/2023
Saturday 3rd September 2022, Gayfield Park, Arbroath, 3.00pm kick off
Arbroath welcome Partick Thistle to Gayfield this afternoon for our second meeting within 5 days with the Lichties hoping to get the better of Thistle after Aidan Fitzpatrick’s 83rd minute goal sealed the Jags progress into the 3rd round of the Premier Sports Cup.
Arbroath Manager Dick Campbell was working hard on Thursday to add more players to his squad with Dylan Tait, Marcel Oakley and Kareem Isiaka all arriving, whilst Jason Thomson and James Craigen departed Gayfield.
Whilst the Transfer Window is closed, Arbroath can still sign loan players until Saturday 1st October and free agents.
Captain Thomas O’Brien misses out as he sits out the first of his two match ban, whilst it is hoped Colin Hamilton will return from injury to be included in today’s squad.
We know it will be another incredibly tough test, with the visitors always so resolute in defence and quick on the break but with your support we hope we can get you the result.
C’mon the Lichties
