Match Report

TTA report

A misleading scoreline. Thistle struggled in this match and Husband had an excellent game in defence. It was an complete surprise when Sharp (41), Gourlay (43) and Millar (44) scored. Before and after this purple patch Thistle never looked like doing anything. Rovers were hard done to. They missed a pen in the second half.
