notes

Thistle's first is described in the SC as a Lambie header deflected in to the net by McIntryre of Morton's attempted clearance. The DR comments that “the 'keeper looked like getting Lambie's header when McIntyre diverted the ball past his keeper”. OH/GH give the goal to Lambie and, although no-one seems entirely convinced, we stick with that view.

Match Report

TTA report

Unconvincing Thistle carried some luck but did enough. Both teams went close before Morton opened the scoring but Lambie equalised 5 minutes later (30) - although it might have been an OG by a defender. Kinloch hit the bar then Hair went close. An even second half saw Kinloch get the winner from a corner.
