Match Report

TTA report

Until Ayr hit unchanged Thistle with 3 goals early in the second half there had been nothing between the teams. McKennan was involved in everything - perhaps too much - he took every free-kick. The forwards were too predictable and the shaky defence didn't cope with Ayr's fast raids.
