Match Report

TTA report

Spence was the only Thistle player to get pass marks. They were 2nd best and were seldom out of defence. The forwards couldn't hold on to the ball; the defence was under constant pressure. 2 goals in either half flattered them. “A dull, uninteresting match” (GH). “Play was of the poorest description” (DA).
