Match Report

TTA report

Early league leaders Aberdeen had the Thistle defence under pressure for long spells, playing very well. Steadward saved a pen before half-time but had to admit defeat (49). Aberdeen seemed content with 1-0 but McKennan (seldom seen in the first half) left the Aberdeen defence spread-eagled and set up Shankly (56).
