Match Report

TTA report

Top of the league and unbeaten, Morton were no better than a poor Thistle side in the first half. Thistle were seldom out of their own half and Henderson was in fine form. Husband was robbed running the ball out for a goal-kick and it led to a 20-yarder (52) then an unsavable 25-yarder (77) sealed the win.
