Match Report

TTA report

A drab first half was uneventful but the 2nd started with both keepers busy. Soon Thistle took over and bombarded the Morton goal as a variety of players had efforts on target. Morton's keeper was inspired and against the run of play a pen made it 1-0 (72) but Wright's header (84) was the least Thistle deserved.
