Match Report

TTA report

Bottom of the league St Mirren got their 1st win thanks to constant pressure. Hammill gave Thistle an undeserved lead (35) with a cute header after some magic by McSpadyen but Saints rallied and pinned Thistle back. Despite defensive heroics goals 59 and 74 won them both points.
