New Thistle manager Lamb kicks off against Preston
Lamb said: "I'm really looking forward to the challenge of rebuilding a Lothian side which has lost a few players in the past seven days because of different circumstances. We start tonight against Preston Athletic at the Pennypit in an East of Scotland League Cup quarter-final tie and I will be trying to bring in some trialists to complement the very good group of players I have inherited."
Preston Athletic boss, Stevie Myatt, has a selection situation to resolve with Craig Scott, Gary Kennedy and Matt Costello, who were unavailable at the weekend, now back and looking for a place in the starting line-up. The game kicks-off at 7.30pm.
