Thistle 'have nothing to lose' in fight for fifth - Boyce

Carla Boyce says Partick Thistle have "nothing to lose" in their remaining top-six fixtures.

Striker Boyce scored twice in Wednesday night's 3-2 win over Hibs that moves Thistle within a point of the Easter Road side in fifth.

"I'm really delighted to get the two goals," she told club media.

"The aim was to get the three points and push for that fifth place and I think everyone did really well.

"Playing in the top six is the best, you get the highest standards week in week out. It's really hard but I think we showed [against Hibs] that we deserve to be here.

"We've got nothing to lose, we are the underdogs and I think we've shown that really well this season."

Hibs defender Joelle Murray was frustrated with the goals her side conceded at Petershill Park.

Hibs opened the scoring before conceding an equaliser almost immediately.

"The way we lost the goals, the ball not sticking up the top end of the pitch, our decision-making, our execution; it was just a really disappointing and frustrating evening," Murray said.

“If you’ve played in football for a long time, you know you are always susceptible to being on the back foot after scoring.

"I’m not saying it would’ve been a different game if we went in at half-time 1-0 up, but we would’ve had that momentum and positivity."
