Match Report

TTA report

Thistle were the better moving team all round and 2 first half goals from Glover (28, on his debut) and Candlin (made by Glover, 44) were enough to take the points. The game deteriorated the longer it went on and became “a pale, insipid version of traditional cup-tie football“ (SP).
