Match Report

TTA report

“Drab game at Firhill” (GH). The game started off well enough but it deteriorated into a scrappy affair. MacKenzie was one of the few players to shine. His free-kick way out on the right was headed in by Sharp (58) and he tricked the full-back and crossed for Walker to sweep the ball into the net (76). Up to 9th.
