Match Report

TTA report

The win ensured Thistle would finish a creditable 3rd. They played “carefree, confident football” (GH) and were by far the better team. Wright (pen) then Kinnell made it 2-0 at h-t but Saints converted a pen (58) in a foul-ridden 2nd half in which Curran was sent off early on. McCallum scored (62).
