Match Report

TTA report

Thistle were well held and deserved no more. Stranraer took the lead (8) after a poor clearance from a corner and it took some time to draw level through Alston. It was mainly Thistle in the second half and McKennan scored but ex-JAG Wyllie got a deserved equaliser but Thistle were well below par.
