The OH have Jim Marshall as the scorer of Thistle's goal, but the SC credits John Bowie with a “splendidly taken goal”, and SP/JL concur with this account, so we go with the convincing majority.

Match Report

TTA report

Motherwell took the lead from 20 yards (25). Marshall went close but soon it was 2-0. A 3rd goal (50) put the result beyond doubt although Bowie scored a fine goal for 3-1. Motherwell got their 4th near the end and ran out worthy winners. A very disappointing performance. Thistle remained in 6th place.
