Match Report

TTA report

Play was “a muddle of imperfections” (GH). St Johnstone's 1st goal (25) looked suspiciously off-side. Ewing wasted a glorious chance but scored (on his only game for the club) with an unmarked header (40). A poorly defended 20-yard free-kick in the second half won it. 2 poor teams.
