Match Report

TTA report

Thistle were a “jerky and colourless lot” (DR). Apart from a late rally when Peat scored for 3-1, they were well beaten. They went behind early in the first half and a brilliant solo effort, leaving half the defence floundering, made it 2-0. “Never thoroughly interesting but..never really boring”.
