Match Report

TTA report

McSpadyen caused lots of problems as Thistle threatened to overwhelm St Mirren. Wallace scored twice (9 and 15). Saints, however, scored just before half-time and equalised (58). The defence was sorely pressed but a pen by Wallace when Williamson was pulled down made it 3-2 (78).
