Alex Younger played under the psuedonym of “Smith”. We stick with Alex Younger as scorer per OH, though he's billed as “Smith” in the DR/SC.

Match Report

TTA report

Thistle had little to offer in attack. They forgot to utilise McSpadyen who was available again after a lengthy suspension. A defensive error let in Younger to level but, in truth, Morton should have won more comfortably than with just two second half goals.
