Match Report

TTA report

“Thistle solid in defence, nippy in attack, really should have got more goals” (SP). McKennan (back to his best) gave them the best possible start with a 20-yard free-kick (1). Wright set up Sharp for the 2nd goal (58). Morton (their keeper had a fine game) were feckless up front. A comfortable win. Thistle went top.
