Match Report

TTA report

Top of the league and unbeaten, Aberdeen got their goals either side of half-time (35 and 50). The Thistle defence was shaky, McMenemy on his debut took a heavy knock (10) and McKennan was off injured for a spell. Wallace deserved better when his lob was cleared off the line but that was as close as Thistle got.
