KEVIN HOLT knows that if Partick Thistle are to advance to the semi-finals of the Premier Sports Cup by knocking out Aberdeen this evening, they will need to play with ambition and be brave on the ball – something that shouldn’t prove too difficult for the centre-half.
The Jags are aiming to bring a 20-year wait to reach Hampden to a close and Ian McCall’s side go into the contest in good form. Top of the Championship standings, the Glasgow outfit recorded a 2-1 win away to Hamilton at the weekend in their last outing.
Scott Tiffoney’s sublime winning goal grabbed the headlines after the match but it was so nearly Holt who scored a contender for goal of the season. From inside his own half at a free-kick, the former Queen of the South defender spotted Accies keeper Ryan Fulton off his line. He shelled an ambitious effort at goal as soon as the ball was released by the referee but Fulton managed to scurry back in time to hastily bat it away.
