notes

JL credits Samuel Woods with a brace for Morton, but theSR report is clear with two for ex-Jag Robert Melrose. Having seen nothing elsewhere to contradict this, we've applied per the latter.

Match Report

TTA report

Morton opened the scoring (Gray og) but Paul equalised to make it 1-1 at half-time. Morton went ahead but goals by McDonald, Wilkie and Paul put Thistle in a strong position only for Morton to score twice through Ex-JAG Melrose. The game finished with the JAGS well on top but the Morton keeper kept them out.
