Match Report

TTA report

Defences were on top in the first half then a goal from close put Motherwell ahead (68). Colgan levelled (header, 72). A winner (keeper rounded, 84) was rough on Thistle. Newall had 3 magnificent volleys well saved and there were good individual performances but 2nd top Motherwell had that bit more to offer.
