Match Report

TTA report

Pointless Falkirk (7 straight defeats) led 2-0 at half-time (a shot past the advancing Ledgerwood and a fumble by him at a corner). McCallum hit the post but the forwards took too many touches. Kinnell scored with a low 40-yarder (89) to no avail. Thistle were “uncertain in defence and easily held in attack” (FH).
