Thistle had all the pressure and took a 2-goal lead through Gray (P) and Donaldson then 2 more were added before half-time, Cartvale scoring once. A 5th was scored after half-time but soon after the match was abandoned due to “the state of the weather” (SC). (Hastily arranged friendly due to league postponement.)
