Ross County could move one step closer to safety tomorrow afternoon when they host Partick Thistle in Dingwall.
Victory could see the Staggies jump above both Thistle and Kilmarnock, into eighth place in the Premiership table but the Jags go into the match in good form, winning three and drawing one of their last five matches.

Jim McIntyre says
“They’re in excellent form. They have taken a number of points against the top five recently so it has to be recognised that they are playing well but we’re also in great form.
“We know Thistle will come here a threat. They have had a couple of good results in the past few weeks so it is going to be a tough match. They’re a good team and they have showed that so we need to be right up for it.”
