notes

JL credits Peter Findlay rather than Willie Freebairn with one of the Thistle goals. We stick with the latter, as per the OH, but will keep an eye out for more information.

Match Report

TTA report

Poor shooting, good defending and a gusty wind meant it was goalless for longer than it might have been. Thistle trailed 2-0 before Freebairn reduced the lead before half-time. He equalised (46) and later completed his hat-trick. Harvey also scored. The other Thistle scored but they were edged out in a tight game.
