Match Report

TTA report

3rd top Aberdeen were the better side in the first half. They took the lead (20) but Fraser headed in the equaliser. The roles were reversed after half-time. Gibson gave Thistle the lead then Aberdeen equalised. A fine goal by Torbet near the end secured the win to finish off “a refreshing display“ (GH).
