Match Report

TTA report

4th placed Motherwell started brightly but fell away once Thistle opened the scoring (12) when Douglas headed in a McSpadyen cross. Wallace latched on to a long clearance for the 2nd (31) then Douglas got his 2nd (42). But for careless forward play, the score could have been more emphatic.
