Match Report

TTA report

A surprise defeat for 1883 FA cup winners Olympic. Thistle were 3-up at half-time thanks to goals from Johnston (“an easy low shot” (LEP, 12) then Paul with a 30-yarder (17) and again after a fine passing move (22). Olympic scored early in the second half and Duff was a busy keeper but there were no more goals.
