Match Report

TTA report

5,216 saw this first ever War Emergency Cup “home and home“ tie. Morrison gave Thistle the lead from a McSpadyen cross but United led 3-1 at half-time (the 2nd goal a penalty). Thistle were 2nd best to a good United team and by the time Picken scored to make it 4-2 they were well beaten. All to do in the 2nd leg.
