Match Report

TTA report

Howitt converted a Crawford cross (19) but newly promoted Albion (with a player limping for 85 mins) equalised on the half hour with a fine strike from 15 yards. McCredie converted one of the softest penalties ever given (68) and unlucky Albion seemed deflated. 2 goals by Walker (85 and 89) flattered Thistle.
