Match Report

TTA report

A disappointing match. Thistle should have won on possession alone. Neither keeper had much to do as the forwards were poor. Calderwood sent a pen for hand ball wide early in the first half. Late on, Henderson saved a pen (on his debut) after Sutherland had made a brilliant 2-handed save on the goal line!
