Match Report

TTA report

Thistle had the best of the first half but ironically it was only when 2nd top Dundee got into the game that they scored through McCallum (33) and O'Donnell (header, 38). Dundee reduced the lead (41) and controlled the second half. Goals (78 and 81) saw them complete the fight back and go top and Thistle slip to 6th.
