Match Report

TTA report

Newcomers to the league Falkirk had their chances in the first half but their forwards didn't take them. Sommen gave Thistle a fortunate lead when the keeper spilled an effort by Gray (30) then Kennedy made it 2-0 (45). It was mainly Thistle in a scrappy second half. The visitors' defence stood firm.
