Match Report

TTA report

Even with Gibson and McLeod missing, Thistle should have had this game sewn up by half-time on possession and chances but a goal by Hair was the only score at half-time when he fired home from out wide via a post. Bottom of the league United led 2-1 - until Torbet scored (87) to spare the blushes.
