OH/GH say John L. Anderson for Thistle's 4th, ET says Jimmy Walker. SP explains that both players were in close proximity when Anderson shot home and from some angles it might have looked like Walker. Anderson it is.

Match Report

TTA report

Both teams hit the woodwork then Airdrie scored twice (36 and when Ledgerwood fumbled a cross, 40). The second half was a transformation once Davidson scored from the spot (soft award, 46). Stott hit the post but Walker (52), Stott (56), Anderson (84) and Sharp (87) scored for a win that looked unlikely at half-time.
