Match Report

TTA report

Thistle dominated possession but 2nd bottom Airdrie had their moments too. A 30-yard free-kick by Davidson went close then Stott scored from a Walker cross (38). Airdrie had a better second half, equalised (61) and went ahead (77) but Thistle rallied and a Davidson pen (79) levelled before Walker half hit a Stott cross that trundled in (86).
