Match Report

TTA report

Thistle had the best of the play in the first half and Stott, McCallum and Davidson all went close. At the other end Bell had some important saves. The game deteriorated into a bore until aided by slack defending, Dundee scored (62, 75 and 78). Bell was taken off, injured in the process and Wright went into goals.
