Match Report

TTA report

2-up in quick time through Simpson (1) and Hunter (8), Thistle became complacent. St Mirren scored from the spot and it was end to end stuff after that. Elliott missed a penalty then McLeod and a St Mirren defender exchanged punches and were sent off (80). Thistle went a point clear at the top.
