Thistle are having a nightmare season and facing the real prospect of successive relegations. After 19 matches they are a point clear of bottom placed Falkirk with third bottom Alloa Athletic five points ahead in the comfort of safety from the play-off spot Thistle occupy.
Gary Caldwell replaced Alan Archibald in October but has only managed to take five points from 10 matches in charge.
Jamie Sneddon has been the regular goalkeeper over the last month but it’s expected that Hazard will go straight into the first team, making his debut on Saturday away to Dundee United.
