Match Report

TTA report

A fluky goal settled a scrappy game when mid-table Hearts pounced on a deflected loose ball in the goalmouth (62). Brown was back from injury after 11 months and Stott (signed from Dundee) made his debut but Thistle seldom troubled the keeper, not that over-elaborate Hearts had many chances either.
