Match Report

TTA report

A fine win against Dundee who had finished 5th in the First Division. Ferguson gave Thistle the lead but Dundee levelled (through their Ferguson) but their keeper “bungling a soft shot from (Thistle's) Ferguson“ made it 2-1. Dundee had Thistle hemmed in for most of the second half. “A rather poor game“ (DET).
