Match Report

TTA report

The Thistle defence had their work cut out to contain Airdrie's forwards and were only seen on the occasional break. A deflected shot nearing half-time put them behind. Thistle were better in the 2nd and Bruce equalised but an excellent passing move resulted in a 2nd goal. Harvey scored from distance late on to earn a point.
