Match Report

TTA report

It was a poor performance by the Thistle forwards against an off-colour Airdrie side. Defences were largely on top and both keepers had fine saves making goals from open play unlikely. As it was it took half-backs Husband (a 30-yard free-kick, 15) and Candlin (a header from a corner,62) to get the goals.
