Match Report

TTA report

Three reserves played at half-back and Kilmarnock had the edge over the weakened Thistle team. Trailing 2-0, Thistle finally got going and Wallace scored from a Linton cross (32). Play was even and open until Kilmarnock scored (86) but a McKennan header made it 3-2 (87). Kilmarnock's 4th (90) slightly flattered them. They joined Thistle on 11 points.
