Largs face two tough Ayrshire derbies to kick off 2017.

Thistle travel to second bottom Kilwinning Rangers on Saturday 7 January, before hosting Scottish Cup champions Beith at Barrfields on the 14th.

Largs are desperate for points as they bid to move off bottom spot, and a win over Buffs could push Largs off bottom for the first time this season.

Thistle drew with both sides in the Ardagh Cup group stages earlier this season, with Kilwinning 3-1 victors at Barrfields in the McBookie.com Premier division.

Largs face Beith at Barrfields in the West of Scotland Cup 2nd round on a date still to be arranged.

* Largs have arranged a friendly fixture at Port Glasgow on Wednesday evening.
