Match Report

TTA report

Play was even but “by no means pretty” (CE) then Airdrie took the lead (15) with a fast trundler. Thistle (missing some regulars) had most of the play after that but their finishing was erratic. Davie scored with a fast shot (60) then McCorkindale fisted out a 30-yarder straight to the scorer (65) but Davie equalised (85).

The Thistle now warmed up to their work, and Davie again equalised. Result:- Partick Thistle, two goals; Airdrieonians, two goals.
