Match Report

TTA report

The season was minutes old when Morrison grazed a post then Torbet opened for Thistle (12). Morrison got the 2nd goal while Morton had a defender off for treatment. They improved and reduced the lead as Thistle faded but couldn't find another goal. A draw would have been fairer.
