Match Report

TTA report

The debut of Shankly had little impact as 2nd top Dumbarton ran rings round Thistle who trailed 3-0 at half-time. It was 4-0 (47) then Leitch scored (60). Late goals (85 and 86) made things even worse before Leitch scored again (89). Only Newall escaped criticism because he hit woodwork several times.
