Match Report

TTA report

Thistle failed to take any of the chances made by Paul, Proudfoot and Freebairn and it was 0-0 at half-time. Paul scored just after the break but Saints levelled with an overhead kick. The outstanding feature of the second half was the play of both keepers who were “in their best form” (GH).
