Match Report

TTA report

McSpadyen was the best player on the park but 3 goals in 5 minutes early in the first half killed Thistle off. Wallace, who lacked support all afternoon, scored (68) but any chance of a fight-back was hampered when McMenemy went off injured (60) and Sutherland ended the game limping.
