notes

Listed as a 1-2 defeat in the SC which says Thistle pulled a goal back in the second half. NK/OH/SR/GEP/GEC all concur with that scoreline, although the GH/SL/DC all say 2-0 to Cowlairs (possibly copying from the same source?) We stick with the 1-2 scoreline since the report is descriptive.

Match Report

TTA report

Thistle's first home game of the season ended in defeat largely because of a failure to take their chances. Cowlairs scored a goal in each half. Thistle's shooting was erratic but even so, the Cowlairs defence was in good form. (4 newspapers gave the score as 1-2. 3 papers reported 0-2.)
