Match Report

TTA report

The defence played much better than of late and McAllister and Johnstone were outstanding but the problem was that Thistle seldom threatened. A magnificent strike (24) won the points - although 3rd top Hearts also hit the bar twice. Thistle's spasmodic raids did produce some fine saves.
