Match Report

TTA report

4 games in a week caught up with Thistle. The game started quietly then top-equal Morton took a 2-goal lead. McIntyre reduced the leeway just on half-time after a fine run and cross by Callaghan. Raisbeck was again outstanding but it was all Morton in the second half and they got their 3rd. Well beaten.
