Match Report

TTA report

Just 42 days since a ball was last kicked in anger, the season started. Fine goalkeeping restricted Thistle to a goal by Stockdale (69) when a pass-back got the Hamilton defence in a muddle and the ball broke to McGeachy who laid it on for him. Brown “in a class by himself” (SP) had several pile-drivers saved.
