Match Report

TTA report

A poor start to 1943 as 4th top Clyde registered an easy win playing “refined football” (GH). A goal by Gourlay was all Thistle could manage. Clyde were the better team and although the Thistle defence was “praiseworthy” (GH) the forwards were weak. Thistle remained 6th from bottom.
