notes

Despite losing to Bathgate in the Qualifying Cup in October, Thistle had done enough and appeared in the 1st Round draw proper (as did Bathgate).

Match Report

TTA report

Branscombe scored for Thistle (15) but Morton drew level (16) and forged ahead to lead 2-1 at half-time. “Morton hastily assumed the tie was won and slackened their efforts“ (GH) and 2 further goals by Branscombe and McGregor almost gave Thistle a replay but they had left it too late.
