notes

Gilligan (Dundee Wanderers), Melville (East Fife), Maxwell (Petershill), McIlvenny (Hamilton), Drummond (Man City) and Curran (Hamilton) all under the spotlight for a contract. The advertised 6.45pm kick off was possibly delayed, the ADJ noting that “owing to a late start the second half was curtailed by ten minutes”.

Match Report

TTA report

Port went one up within a few minutes with a shot off the bar. They were the better team, had a goal disallowed for off-side and went 2-up with a penalty but McIlvenny made it 2-1 at half-time. Thistle (with 6 new faces) missed a penalty. Due to the late start the second half ended on 35 minutes (darkness).
