Match Report

TTA report

Having been abandoned twice, it was 3rd time lucky - for bottom of the league Motherwell at least. The Thistle defence was sound but the forwards were weak and Howden, who was in great form, was responsible for keeping the score respectable and was beaten only once. Thistle finished 6th.
