Match Report

TTA report

Thistle were unlucky at times and had the better of the play in the first half and found the Dundee keeper in top form. When they ran out of steam, Dundee took the lead. After that the game deteriorated and Dundee got a second near the end. “A tedious game with little or no excitement to brighten it up” (DC).
