Unfortunately, we've had to remove Sam Clark from #8 owing to the SCL report which states “Paul and Clark were absentees and the substitutes were poor”.

Match Report

With Robertson playing an International trial match (and the rest of the team perhaps still suffering from sea sickness!), Thistle were never in this game. Keay scored but it was 3-1 at the break. Linthouse rattled in another 5 in the second half, Gilchrist getting Thistle's 2nd goal.
