That's all from us as County start life back under Stuart Kettlewell with a victory that gives them renewed hope of avoiding a second consecutive relegation.

Thistle's hopes of catching St Johnstone for the Championship title suffers a body blow.

Will St Johnstone take advantage tomorrow, or will Queen's Park increase the gap again between themselves and County at the bottom.

Watch out for news of the morning pitch inspection that will determine whether the Spiders against Saints game goes ahead along with four other matches in danger of being postponed.

Thistle manager Mark Wilson is hoping to add to his squad as he feels "we are punching above our weight" in terms of resources.

"If you lose a goal within 19 seconds then you're facing an uphill battle, compounded by a second before 10 minutes," he tells BBC Scotland.

"It is a hard night and, when we did create chances, we didn't convert them and that was the story of the game unfortunately.

"After that, we got control of the game but didn't create anything clear cut."

County manager Stuart Kettlewell says he is not getting carried away with the victory as his side remain bottom of the Championship.

"It's been a bizarre eight or nine days since we came in - two games cancelled and a bit of a doubt initially about this one because of the weather and conditions," he tells BBC Scotland.

"But the team here at the club have done amazingly well to get the pitch ready and the cark park and everything else to get you guys in, but most importantly we wanted to get off to a good start.

"It wasn't pretty by any stretch of the imagination, but it gives us a foundation just to win a game of football. It has been a long time since the group of players have done that, but I thought to a man they put their body on the line."

The defeat leaves Thistle still five adrift of St Johnstone at the top of Scotland's second tier.

County, though, move to within two points of Queen's Park at the bottom.

The Spiders will hope to extend that gap again, but they are at home to the league leaders should that game survive a morning pitch inspection.

"It was a great way to start the game and it set the tone for the boys."

Time fast running out for the visitors.

Alex Samuel has a sight at goal on the turn, but the former County striker fires into the side netting.

It is just not happening for Thistle in Dingwall.

You have to say that, apart from their two early goals, County look like a side struggling at the bottom and not one that had title pretentions at the start of the season and hopes of a return to the top flight.

In saying that, Thistle have been fairly ineffective in breaking them down and do not look like a side capable of catching St Johnstone at the top of the table.

Meanwhile, we are back to playing with a white ball as snow continues to fall.

Heavy snow is now falling in Dingwall.

County will hope it doesn't lie and thwart what would be an excellent victory.

We've got a yellow ball in play too!

County are first to threaten after the break.
