A look at the New Year's Eve football fixtures from lower tiers in England and Scotland, including the Partick Thistle vs. Greenock Morton clash in the Scottish Championship, National League action featuring Solihull Moors, and the A-League match between Melbourne City and Central Coast Mariners.
Just a smattering of New Year's Eve football action in store with games from the lower tiers in England and Scotland. Partick Thistle close the year with a trip for Greenock Morton in the Scottish Championship, while the National League takes centre stage in England and there's also A-League action from Down Under.
Partick Thistle closed the gap on the top three in the Championship as they won their Glasgow derby against Queen's Park 2-1 on Saturday, with a brace from their in-form veteran Brian Graham. The 37-year-old now has six goals in his last six outings and he could be a key threat in their visit to Morton on New Year's Eve.Kris Doolan's side have been well served by their home form – they are undefeated in 10 games at Firhill – but are less reliable on the road with four defeats in eight already. A trip to face third-from-bottom Greenock Morton may offer a solid chance of a win, but Dougie Imrie's home side are on a six-game unbeaten league run of their own.A-League action from Australia takes place early in the day UK time as Melbourne City travel to face Central Coast Mariners at the Industree Group Stadium in Gosford.Melbourne City are just inside the top six currently but could jump to third with a win here. Only table toppers Auckland FC and third placed Melbourne Victory have conceded fewer goals than Aurelio Vidmar's side and they can rise up the table with a win to nil.Solihull Moors are occupying the final playoff berth in the National League, sitting seventh, and will be eager to end the year by jumping up a position., seven points clear of the drop zone and eight behind the playoff spots. They've lost just one of their last seven in all competitions however and won't be rolled over easily. They were winners on their previous visit to The ARMCO Arena back in 2016. After a wobble that brought four losses in league and cup, Solihull have steadied the ship with three wins and a draw from four in the league since December 1
