Match Report

TTA report

Broomfield, Airdrie. An embarrassing defeat (a goal in either half) against newcomers Albion Rovers (under-strength, missing 4 regulars). Thistle's forward line wasn't at full strength, but even so, the defence should have been able to cope. “All through the Coatbridge side were the cleverer team” (SC).
