Boroughmuir Thistle return to action on Sunday afternoon when they travel to face SWPL 2 champions Queen’s Park at New Tinto Park.
Unbeaten in five and enjoying successive victories for the first time since December, Thistle head into the penultimate league game having already secured a top-four finish and with third place still up for grabs.
The hosts, who wrapped up the league title with five games to spare and are currently 23 points clear of Kilmarnock, come into this one on the back of seven successive victories and an unbeaten record stretching back to 21st January.
Sunday will mark the fifth meeting of the sides this season across the league and League Cup. Queen’s Park have the slight upper hand in the head-to-head with two victories - including last time out at Meadowbank in March - though Thistle knocked their hosts out the Sky Sports Cup in October and held them to a 1-1 draw at New Tinto Park in January.
It’s trophy day for the Spiders on Sunday, but Thistle will be hoping to put the celebrations on ice for at least an extra 90 minutes. Let us guide you through all the key match information…
