Match Report

TTA report

Thistle (with 5 new faces) had all the pressure but Falkirk scored (14). Play swung in their favour until Hair scored just on half-time thanks to a miskick by a defender. Play in the second half was even but Thistle had the better chances. The Falkirk keeper had some brilliant saves to deny them a winner.
