Match Report

TTA report

Thistle had no answer to the speed and quality of Dundee's play and trailed 4-0 before Sharp got the 1st of his 2 goals (74 and 88). Not for the first time Stott (a future-JAG) ran the defence ragged and bagged a hat-trick. Too many forwards had an off-day and they failed to live up to their growing reputation.
