Hamilton (unbeaten in their last 4 games) were down 5-0 at half-time. Hair scored 4 in 20 minutes and Ness made it 5-0 at half-time. Hair, Ballantyne (“the best shot of the match“ - SC) and Elliott got the second half goals to join Hamilton on 9 points. One of those days everything went right for Thistle.
