Match Report

TTA report

Thistle were all over the place and were 2-down inside 7 mins. They wasted several chances following defensive errors by Ayr but a much better second half saw McFarlane pull one back when the keeper fumbled a Blair shot (47). The game got rough after that and several punches were thrown. On play, unlucky.
