notes

The OH credits Jimmy Walker with Thistle's second, but GH/BU/SC all say it was Tom McNab, but without actually reporting on it. DR sides sides with OH and credits Walker; “Touched in a McNab cross”. DC also credits Walker (“tipped a long ball into the box past the keeper”). We stick with Jimmy Walker, all things considered.

Match Report

TTA report

Clyde opened (14) and took things easy, such was the poor quality of Thistle's forwards - Howitt, MacKenzie and Walker at fault. A better second half saw Stott (brilliant header, 65) and Walker make it 2-1 (67) but Clyde woke up and scored (73). Ledgerwood was by far the busier keeper and a draw was fair.
