Match Report

TTA report

United declined Thistle's “bribe” (EEN) to play at Partick. They had most of the play and piled on the pressure - especially “with the aid of the incline” (GH). Thistle scraped through thanks to a lovely goal by Gray (R) (80) then United hit the post with a pen after Gilchrist had fisted out a net-bound shot. Lucky.
