Match Report

TTA report

Clydebank played the more skilful football but Thistle's “rushing style” (SC) finally won the day if not the plaudits. Marshall scored (25) from a scramble but a fine volley made it 1-1 (30) then Stewart turned away a pen for a corner just on half-time. Whittle's pen (75) then Marshall's header (78) were harsh on Clydebank.
