Match Report

TTA report

“McSpadyen teed them up” (SP). McSpadyen was given too much space and 3 of his crosses led to goals. Sharp (10, 30 and 44) and Gourlay (20) made it 4-2 at half-time, Rovers having scored 27 and 35. Newall made it 5-2 (46) but Thistle were flattered. Rovers played better than the score suggested.
