Match Report

TTA report

65,500 (!) saw Thistle playing the better football and having by far the bulk of possession. Queens defended for most of the game and their keeper kept them in it several times. A 25-yarder (65) won it. Thistle continued their non-stop attacking and Grove hit the post but it ended in disappointment.
