Match Report

TTA report

After a few close things Allan scored but 2nd bottom St Mirren equalised then went ahead with a dubious goal. In the second half it was soon 4-1. A late flurry saw some close things but eventually Thistle crumbled and fell out of the game. Thistle submitted a complaint that the referee was incompetent.
