Match Report

TTA report

Pope broke his collar bone (5). Largely on the defensive, Thistle scored through Ness close in (46) but a through ball was tucked away (54). Good saves denied Thistle a win late on. Playing with 10 men for the rest of the game, a 1-1 draw at a wintry Pittodrie was a fighting, creditable performance.
