The final of the Scottish Premiership play-off is finely poised after Partick Thistle came from behind to earn a first-leg draw at home to St Mirren.
The Premiership side got their noses in front when Killian Phillips controlled Mikael Mandron’s pass and guided the ball into the net with the outside of his right boot.
But that did not tell the whole story of the first-half during which Thistle, who are aiming to return to the top-flight for the first time in eight years, wasted good scoring chances.
Defender Lee Ashcroft had the best of them as he made space at the back post from a corner, only to head wide from close range.
Fortunately for Thistle, they were able to put their profligacy behind them to draw level after the break.
Tony Watt’s excellent run and cross found Aidan Fitpatrick at the back post, and the winger kept his strike low and powered the ball beyond goalkeeper Ross Sinclair.
It means the place in next season’s Premiership is still very much up for grabs on Monday in Paisley.
