Match Report

TTA report

A narrow win but a goal by Rodger (40) after good work by Picken was enough. It came after a spell of dominance by Rovers but they couldn't find the net. Guest player Collier (York City) at half-back drove Thistle on with his surging runs. Rovers had lots of the play and a solid pen claim but Thistle saw it out.
