Match Report

TTA report

Virtually a Kilmarnock reserve side won comfortably with 2 goals (30 and 65). “Thistle were a disjointed side…only Jackson, the two backs and Lambie playing to form” (GH). Ness went off injured on 80 minutes and there was no way back for the 10 men. By then the game was well won, despite finishing with 6 forwards.
