notes

OH/JL (by process of elimination) credit Carrick Hamilton with Thistle's opener, but SC says it was Archie McKenzie. GH fails to name any scorer for the first. Muddying the waters further still, the CE reckons it was Sam Kennedy. There's no easy solution for such a dilemma, but we've opted for Sam Kennedy per CE simply on the grounds that it's the most detailed and compelling report.

Match Report

TTA report

Thistle played the better football in the first half against unbeaten Airdrie but trailed 1-0 at half-time. The home keeper was in magnificent form. In the second half a shot tore some of his fingers but he came back on after stitches. Kennedy (Hamilton or McKenzie) equalised after half-time but Airdrie scored twice more before a Kennedy pen.
