PARTICK THISTLE stopper Scott Paterson has proclaimed himself ready to relaunch his Thistle career after a hamstring problem stalled his second coming at Firhill.


Paterson picked up the problem in last Monday's closed door game with Livingston and was forced to sit out Saturday's 1-1 draw.
But the centre-back played for 60 minutes in yesterday's reserve game with the Diamonds and came through with no problems.
Paterson said: "It was a real frustration to get the tweak against Livi as everything had been going so well in training.
"However, there was no point in taking any chances and that's why I missed the Airdrie game.
"But the reserve match at Petershill yesterday was played on a really heavy pitch and I came through strongly with no reaction.
"It was great to get the 60-odd minutes under my belt and hopefully I did enough to impress the gaffer and put me in the frame for the visit to Hamilton."
Paterson strolled through the 2-1 defeat, playing in a back four alongside Jean-Yves Anis, Manny Panther and Billy Gibson.
Now he is hoping he will get the nod at Accies and has dismissed fears that the artificial surface could be an injury threat.
When asked about the plastic Pitch at New Douglas Park
Paterson said: "From what the boys have all said the Hamilton pitch is light years in front of the Dunfermline one. We train on an artificial surface at the Firhill complex most days so I have no worries about it.
"I just hope I get the opportunity to play in what is a massive game for us."
