Match Report

TTA report

“An astonishing victory“ (GH). Thistle scored 3 goals in 10 minutes (Gibson, 2 and McDougall). Even against the wind in the second half Thistle were in command and Gibson scored his 3rd, McDougall his 2nd. A disjointed Saints side had no answer to Thistle's cup tie style and were well beaten.
