THE SPFL have announced the fixture list for the 2019/20 Championship season. Here are the key dates that Partick Thistle fans need to know:
First game of the season
The Jags will kick off the season with an away trip to Alloa Athletic on the 3rd of August. Thistle's first home game of the campaign is the following weekend, when they will host Robbie Neilson's Dundee United before travelling to Cappielow to face Morton on the 24th of August.

Is there a Boxing Day fixture?
There are no Boxing Day fixtures in the Championship, so Partick fans will not have to worry about a long away trip the day after Christmas. The club's next game will be played on the 28th of December, when Gary Caldwell's team face Morton away from home.

What's the run-in like?
As always in the Championship, there are very few easy games and the Jags' run-in looks quite tough. Thistle's last four games are as follows: an away trip to Palmerston on the 11th of April; a home fixture against Inverness on the 18th of April; an away fixture against Dunfermline the following week; and, finally, they play Dundee at Firhill on the 2nd of May.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
