notes

The OH and JL contend that R. Lamont scored Thistle's opener but the GEP report states “where his forwards failed, Lamont from half…scored the only goal of the first half”. We are obliged, therefore, to credit James Lamont, our half-back on the day.

Match Report

TTA report

Play was even and chances were made and missed at both ends. Lamont (J) gave Thistle the lead (20) with a “long, fast shot” (GEP). Motherwell levelled (50) with Crozier looking at fault. Thistle's shooting was “erratic” (MT) and the winner came after a late goalmouth scramble. Bottom=.
