Match Report

TTA report

Albion were lively early on but made little impression and Thistle gradually had them on the defensive. Crowe and Henderson went close but only a Davidson pen (45) separated the teams at half-time. Crowe saw his drive blocked by the keeper but Smith tapped in the rebound before he could recover (54).
