Match Report

TTA report

A weakened Aberdeen side (sitting top=) dominated. Cummings was playing for Scotland v Wales but even so, Thistle were well beaten. Playing with 10 men for most of the second half was no handicap and they scored twice in each half. Only McLennan, Wyllie and McSpadyen played to form.
