Match Report

TTA report

Apart from the early stages, Thistle were well on top against bottom of the table Airdrie. A long range effort by Ballantyne from a Boardman pass (20) and a spectacular shot by Boardman pouncing on a loose ball (26) made it 2-0 at half-time. Torbet's clever flick (70) made it 12 straight league wins. Up to 8th.
