The Terrors are the favourites to secure promotion this season and kicked off their campaign with a resounding 4-1 victory over Inverness CT last weekend.

New signing Lawrence Shankland knocked home four goals on his competitive debut for the club and is expected to take the league by storm in 2019/20.

Partick Thistle began their season in more measured style as they drew 1-1 away from home against Alloa.

Boss Gary Caldwell will be hoping for a resilient display at Firhill.

As far as debuts go, Shankland may have set the record for the most successful.

The 23-year-old scored 62 goals in 73 games across all competitions for Ayr United – including a 24-goal Championship haul last season.

He will be brimming with confidence and United may simply have too much for the hosts to handle going forward.
