OH/SC credits Willie Gardiner with Thistle's first goal, but JL/GH reckon it was Sydney Smith. We stick with the OH/SC in the meantime, perhaps other reports could later sway.

Match Report

TTA report

8,500 saw 2nd top Falkirk go 1-up (5) but Gardiner got a deserved equaliser (header, 20). In the second half Falkirk were the better team and scored again but Howden kept the score down before Callaghan scored on the break. Thistle's goals were “smartly secured” (AN). Raisbeck was outstanding once again.
