After an absolutely thrilling first leg on Tuesday night, expect goals, goals and more goals as these two clubs reconvene in Stenhousemuir.
In the first leg, Partick Thistle led 2-0 early on, Kyle Turner and Jack McMillan on target, before Don Thomas got it back to 2-1 on the cusp of half time.
Nevertheless, Aidan Fitzpatrick restored the Caley Jags’ two-goal advantage, seeming paving the way for a healthy first leg lead.
However, late long-range strikes from Malachi Boateng and then Thomas, the latter slipping through David Mitchell’s fingers, made it 3-3, sending the traveling Queen’s Park supporters crazy.
But, the drama was not done there because, in the 97th minute, veteran striker Brian Graham broke the offside trap and slotted home a dramatic winner for Partick Thistle.
In case you’ve lost count, 4-3 it finished at Firhill, meaning this tie is perfectly poised.
Queen’s Park are targeting an historic third successive promotion, having not featured in the top-flight for 65 years.
Owen Coyle’s side could’ve won the title on the final day, only to have top spot pinched by Dundee, beaten 5-3 a week ago.
That defeat actually saw the Spiders slip down to third, now needing to overturn that first leg deficit to keep their hopes of going up alive.
Partick Thistle meantime only snuck into the top four on the final day, courtesy of a 2-2 draw at Raith Rovers.
The Caley Jags were in the Premiership as recently as 2018, but have been down to Scotland’s third-tier in the intervening years.
Kris Doolan’s team lost both away matches against Queen’s Park during the season, but know a draw will do this time.
Who will prevail at Ochilview and set up a play-off semi-final date with Ayr United next Friday night?
