Match Report

TTA report

Thistle meant business from the start and Campbell (“a clever little winger“, (SR)) walked through the defence and gave the keeper no chance. Morrison's mistake let Hearts in to level then but Paul was fouled and Proudfoot (D) scored with the free-kick. Proudfoot (J) added a 3rd just on half-time. [Report incomplete].
