Match Report

TTA report

Thistle were “ragged and unenterprising“ (DR) for much of the game and trailed to a goal (15) when a shot from the right was diverted in by Sutherland. Curran scored from the spot when McSpadyen had been “grassed“ (57). It was only then they started to play but they lacked an inspiring leader.
