OH has Hugh Collins as the scorer of Thistle's goal, but SC/GH/SP/JL all say it was John Lindsay, so we go with them.

Match Report

TTA report

Lindsay gave Thistle the lead (26) but Thistle faded and it was soon level then 2-1 by half-time. 2nd placed Airdrie (having one of their best ever seasons) ran out easy winners - despite playing with 10 men all of the second half. Chatton and the Airdrie centre-forward were given 1st use of the soap (85).
