Match Report

TTA report

Thistle struggled until a defensive error let in McGourty (37). It was only when Airdrie equalised (47) that Thistle improved. Simpson scored off a post from 15 yards (72) - the ref deciding his half-saved shot had crossed the line. Torbet turned in a Turner cross (76) to make the points safe.
