Match Report

TTA report

Relegation-haunted Kilmarnock took the lead (32), Chisholm equalised (37) and they were ahead at half-time. They never looked a serious threat however and Thistle played all the slick football. Sharp (pen, 61), Mathie (65), Glover (a lovely solo effort, 83) and Chisholm (88) put the game well out of reach.
