Match Report

TTA report

“Thistle were even more disappointing than usual” (GH). Both teams made chances and King hit the bar. Bulloch scored with a penalty but 2 goals before and 1 after half-time confirmed 3rd top Hearts were the better team. Houston in goal had a fine game and it could well have been a heavier defeat.
