Match Report

TTA report

McCrindle gave Thistle a half-time lead but fortunes shifted when relegation-threatened St Mirren's No 5 went off injured (50). They managed to equalise but the task of containing Thistle - McKennan in particular - was too much. He scored twice and Wallace once for a fortunate win. Unlucky Saints.
