Match Report

TTA report

Harris was suspended but Thistle closed the gap on Morton to 1 point. Whittle completely deceived the keeper from near the corner flag but it was 1-1 at half-time. Marshall set up Bowie and scored himself to make it a fine win. The win was due to “the nonchalant defence of Bulloch” (GH) and Marshall's “dash” (SP).
