Match Report

TTA report

Thistle led 1-0 early on (a defender leaving a long shot to the keeper). They were hemmed in for long spells. Airdrie hit the post, lost a man to injury and went 3-1 up into the second half. A bad foul on Currie triggered a pitch invasion by Thistle fans, repelled by police. Thistle scored again but so did Airdrie late on.
