Match Report

TTA report

Goals by Kinloch (confusion in defence) and McFarlane (dribble and a “magnificent shot” (SP)) gave Thistle a deserved lead inside 15 mins. Morton came more into the game in the second half and reduced the deficit (50) but couldn't find a leveller. A narrow but deserved win. Thistle joined Morton on 33 points.
