Match Report

TTA report

Goals by Miller (6) and Torbet (his lob ran along the crossbar went in off a post) were cancelled out by Aberdeen who dominated the second half, equalised and hit the post twice. Jackson saved Thistle several times before Ness fired home a Lambie shot that was deflected into his path (87). Lucky win!
