Match Report

TTA report

1-down at half-time and 3-down well into the second half and with Rodger off injured, Thistle staged a remarkable recovery to take a point with goals from Picken, Newall and a Curran penalty against 2nd top Airdrie. McSpadyen's play was “mesmerising“ and Sharp “a brilliant forward in the making“ (DR).
