Match Report

TTA report

Aberdeen had two-thirds of the play but Thistle scored 3 from far fewer chances. Salisbury close in (25) after a poor clearance and 2 from Blair after half-time (both from distance) made it an excellent, if flattering, Christmas day - except for Hamilton who required stitches. Campbell was outstanding as was Blair.
