'Prove the doubters wrong!' is the clear message from Thistle boss Stuart Davidson as they face a trip to high-flying Darvel tonight.


Thistle are in relegation trouble as they sit fourth bottom in the league - but Davidson was heartened by the application of the players as they narrowly lost out in a five goal thriller at Benburb.
The gaffer has called on his side to face the situation head on - and to give everything in their final nine league games as the situation can be turned around, and a win could change everything.
And the challenge couldn't be much tougher in Darvel who include ex-Thistle captain Creag Little in their ranks - but boss Davidson believes his players can rise to the challenge.
Davidson said: "We never fear anybody but we have to be aware Darvel are a very good side and we have to be at the top of our game.
"It is just the fine lines right now - we have lost 3-2 in our last three games - but if we keep working hard then that bit of luck we have been missing will turn in our favour but if we lie down to it we will get nothing.
"We are down there in the bottom four - let's not hide from it and let's go out and give everything.
"People had us down before Christmas and then we went on a good run, and it looked like we were staying up, and now folk have us down again and it is up to us to prove them wrong.
"For all the bad results we have had recently - well here is a great chance to make up for it."
