Match Report

TTA report

Falkirk lost their keeper early on but once restored to 11 men they pressed but Thistle held on. Poor marking let in Stott to head home a Walker cross (49) then Ledgerwood had a point-blank save. Harvey's lob was fumbled by the keeper (83) then Stott scored twice to make it 3 goals in 3 minutes. Flattering.
