notes

OH (by process of elimination) credits Jimmy Gibson with the second Thistle goal (a free kick) and this is backed up by the DR/JL. SC/GH/SP all say it was Matt Wilson and we've gone with that on the 3:1 contemporary press basis.

Match Report

TTA report

Unchanged Thistle were the better team but only led by a Lambie header from a Blair cross (28) at half-time. Kilmarnock pressed and Ferguson had some good saves. A breakaway led to defensive confusion and a goal by Wilson (65) then pressure from Kilmarnock saw them score but Gibson scored from 30 yds.
