The Thistle Archive

The Thistle supporters who attended the second replayed tie might have been expecting another rout after Beaton scored a good individual goal after just five minutes. However, Petershill were sterner opposition than Pilgrims and by half-time the north Glasgow team were 2-1 up. Burleigh equalised the tie after good work from Mackay and Thistle kept up the pressure until time was called with the score at 2-2. The SFA, wishing the game to be concluded on the day, had ordered that extra-time be played, and in the second period Beaton scored the third and decisive goal.
