Match Report

TTA report

Motherwell looked comfortable leading 1-0 at half-time - especially as Thistle had lost Hamilton to injury (35). Harris (N) rattled in a deserved equaliser (46) then Whittle (very unusually at outside-right) crossed for Bowie's excellent header (50). He scored again with a fine shot before Motherwell's late 2nd. A big win.
