Match Report

TTA report

Lambie and Ballantyne “excelled in cleverness“ (GH) and were outstanding as Thistle scored 5 against Falkirk whose goalkeeper was injured early on, finally going off at 3-0. Miller (5) and Ballantyne (27) made it 2-0 at half-time. Ballantyne (60), Simpson and Torbet late on killed off plucky 10-man Falkirk who stared the second half well.
