Match Report

TTA report

In his last game, McKennan rattled the bar with a left foot drive and scored the rebound with his right (9) then a Mathie header (11) put Thistle well ahead. Early brilliance (“power-driven precision football” (SP)) faded as Aberdeen fought back. They hit the bar twice before scoring (88) but it was too late. Still top!
