Match Report

TTA report

Thistle were “a colourless combine” (GH). The wind made no difference to Arbroath and they escaped relegation thanks to the win. Johnston fumbled a cross and the ball was prodded home (17) then a pen made it 2-0 (21). McKennan was marked out of the game and Arbroath scored twice more for a big win.
