Match Report

TTA report

Play was even before Airdrie took the lead. It was an open game and Buchanan levelled then “a capital low shot” (LUWE) by Paul put Thistle ahead by half-time. Robertson made it 3-1 then Airdrie reduced the lead on the break making it 3-2 but a 4th goal put it beyond reach. (Airdrie's 4th goal untimed.)
