Match Report

TTA report

Sharp headed home a Davidson free-kick (90) but by then Thistle were well beaten. They were poor, made Kilmarnock look good and trailed in 7 minutes from a header then Parker proceeded to head the ball past Nimmo for the 2nd. By half-time it was 3-0. What few chances Thistle had were wasted.
