Match Report

TTA report

“A dour tussle” (GH). Thistle had a 2-goal lead provided by McGeachy (26) and a Shankly pen (55) but they never managed to subdue Morton. 2 goals (72) and a fine header (80) meant a share of the points. Brown went close late on then McInnes should have got the winner. A fair result.
