Scottish Championship: Can Partick Thistle exorcise play-off demons?

Experience? Check. Momentum? Check. Revenge? Check. Thistle are on the way to a line. Perhaps even a full house.

All the key words that people say are thrown out of the window at this stage of the season could be attributed to Doolan’s side.

As both a player and manager, he has experienced the gruelling nature of the play-offs and he has a squad of players who do too.

Those who had to make the long journey home from Dingwall dejected last season will surely do all it takes to avoid such heartbreak again.

Similarly to then, Thistle are entering the two-legged ties in fine form.

They go to Tannadice undefeated in their last seven. That’s better form that Raith and Airdrie.

And speaking of Rhys McCabe’s side, Thistle have only suffered one defeat in their last 15 against them, although that did come at the start of this season.

For now, Thistle may be in the driving seat, but they’ve been here before and gone off track.
