Thistle influential defender Creag Little is recovering after a visit to hospital on Saturday evening following the Talbot v Largs clash.

Creag received a rib injury following a particularly hard fought match, with the Barrfields side losing out 2-1.

Largs boss Stuart Davidson said: "Creag Little spent the night in hospital - he took a sore one but the good news is that it is not as bad as what was first thought and he may be available for the Beith game on Saturday."

However, Thistle may have a defensive headache for this weekend if Creag doesn't make it as Alan Gilbride was also injured against Talbot, tearing a hamstring, and he is unlikely to feature on Saturday.
