Match Report

TTA report

“A rampant, ragin' Thistle” (SP). Howitt got the season off to a great start from close in (8) and when Walker raced down the wing, left defenders in his wake and fired in an unstoppable shot (26) Thistle were in full control. Shot-shy Motherwell decided on damage limitation in the second half and the game faded.
