Match Report

TTA report

“Mediocrity of Firhill” (GH). The draw was a fair ending to a poor game. Walker (looking off-side) opened for disjointed Thistle (5) but 2 fine moves led to relegation-threatened Queens taking the lead (13 and 17). Stott's header from a Crawford free-kick was one of the few highlights of the second half.
