notes

SC credits Thistle's 4th goal to an og by Fleming (sending the ball into his own net when attempting to clear Simpson's shot). GH is ambiguous saying Simpson scored “with the help of Fleming who touched the ball through his own goal”. We stick with Simpson per GH/AN/JL/OH.

Match Report

2nd bottom Ayr were no match for Thistle's forwards but their goalkeeper kept the score down. Miller scored (16) then a fine 3-man move saw Ballantyne make it 2-0 just on half-time. He made it 3-0 (48) and Thistle eased off. Ayr scored but Simpson and Miller scored late on for a big win. Up to 2nd.
