Match Report

TTA report

A goal by Sharp was all Thistle had to show - and deserved - in a poor, disinterested display. In contrast, St Mirren were in entertaining mood and they ran out deserved winners. Their pressure and overall play deserved more than 3 goals (including a penalty) and they joined Thistle on 11th=.
