Match Report

TTA report

Thistle were never really in this game. Play was quite good in the midfield but the forwards had no firepower. Goals (10 and 42) made for an uphill task and 2 more in the second half confirmed 4th top Airdrie's superiority. “On the whole Airdrieonians had an easy journey” (SC).
