notes

The SP errs by listing Brown @ no.10 for Thistle (probably a mix-up with Brown @ no.11 for Ayr), and confirms the error by mentioning Gray (the real no.10 according to the OH) in the body of the report. Bizarrely, a similar error is made by erroneously naming Watt in goals for Ayr in the teamline, and correctly writing about Lock in the report.

Match Report

TTA report

3rd consecutive 0-0 draw away to bottom club United. Gray's 1-on-1 with the keeper (1) was Thistle's best chance thereafter Ayr did everything but score. They missed chances, hit the side netting and had a goal disallowed for off-side. Given Thistle's makeshift line-up, a point was satisfactory.
