Match Report

TTA report

A poor, scrappy game until the last 20 minutes. Colgan and Gourlay gave Thistle a 2-0 lead at half-time then Glover made it 3 (57). Accies suddenly got back into the game (70) but Sharp restored the 3-goal lead (76). Accies scored again (77) but it wasn't enough for a point. Forwards good, defence shaky.
