Partick Thistle and St Mirren face off in the Scottish Premiership play-off final, with promotion and relegation on the line. Thistle earned their shot by finishing second in the Championship after defeating Dunfermline Athletic 3-2 on aggregate, aiming to end their eight-year exile from the top flight.

St Mirren's season has been a tale of contrasting fortunes. The Buddies captured their second League Cup triumph in December by defeating Celtic, marking the pinnacle of Stephen Robinson's four-year tenure. However, Robinson's March departure for Aberdeen coincided with a dramatic collapse - four consecutive defeats without scoring saw them finish 11th, just above relegation.

Partick Thistle pushed eventual champions St Johnstone until the final games of the Championship season, finishing 11 points adrift but 15 clear of third place. Their strong home form at Firhill, where only Celtic have won this season, gives them confidence heading into Thursday's first leg. Manager Mark Wilson believes his side is ready for Premiership football.

The two-legged tie begins Thursday at Firhill (20:00 BST) with the return at SMISA Stadium on Monday. Both matches air live on Sky Sports, with BBC Radio Scotland providing commentary. The winner secures their Scottish Premiership status for next season.
