Match Report

TTA report

Despite their superiority Thistle had to settle for 1-1 at half-time. McCredie took a pass from Sharp, side stepped a defender and shot home (24) but 2nd bottom Albion levelled (42). It was all Thistle in the second half but it was a case of ineffectual forward play until MacKenzie scored the winner (87). Unconvincing.
