Match Report

TTA report

Paul's early “goal“ was deemed off-side but he did however put Thistle ahead (30). In the second half Morton soon equalised then Gray scored but the ref gave a goal-kick. Paul's 2nd (75) was hotly disputed because he shot home after the ref had blown for a foul. A late pen made it a fair result. Shocking referee.
