Match Report

TTA report

Enforced last-minute changes meant a makeshift defence but Thistle gave a good account of themselves. McSpadyen gave them the lead (21) but in the second half it was all Morton. They equalised (67) then a fine individual effort beating several defenders brought them the winner (89).
