Match Report

TTA report

Ibrox. It was a drab first half with few chances. If anything, Thistle just edged it on pressure although Falkirk missed 2 open goals. They scored twice around the hour mark (adjudged on-side) after Thistle had enjoyed a spell of pressure. Kennedy was lost to injury but Robertson (T) scored near the end from a goalmouth scramble.
