Match Report

TTA report

Division “C” United enjoyed rotten luck. Sharp scored (28) when the ref unwittingly obstructed a defender. United hit the bar. Their keeper knuckled in Sharp's dropping shot (38). 2 United players collided in midfield and Stott ran on and scored (57). His tap-in (blatantly off-side, 67) and Howitt's goal (77) ended it.

• Not a goal, but mighty near it at Firhill. The ball beats United 'keeper Wyllie, while Stott (PT) and Smart can only wait and hope. (DC)

• Wyllie, United 'keeper, has just punched clear, with PT centre Stott landing in the goalmouth. (APJ)
