Match Report

TTA report

A fighting draw. Trailing to goals in 12, 44 and 85, Picken (40), Candlin (78) and Picken again (89) equalised 3 times. Hearts were the better team and Thistle were largely seen on the break. McSpadyen was ineffective. Perhaps he was watching his young cousin/namesake at No 2 for Hearts.
