Match Report

TTA report

A header by Simpson in 35 minutes (making it 14 goals in 8 games) gave Thistle a deserved early lead against 2nd top Aberdeen. They had the better of the first half but the 2nd was clearly Aberdeen's. A penalty for hand ball by Rae (80) saw them draw level then a header from a corner won the points. Thistle deserved better.
