Match Report

TTA report

“This was Thistle without a jag” (DR). They occasionally got within striking distance but despite the promptings of McSpadyen, they were seldom a threat. More disappointingly, they seemed to give up and accept defeat. The crowd melted away when Morton went 3-up on the hour and began to showboat.
