Match Report

TTA report

Thistle came from behind (15) with an opportunist hat-trick by Sharp (32, 37 and 46). Bottom of the league Airdrie reduced the lead (48) but Newall (65) and Candlin (75) scored before Airdrie scored again (78). Thistle didn't need to be at their best because although Airdrie's forwards were a threat, their defending was poor.
