Match Report

TTA report

Thistle almost went behind (1) but soon settled playing good leading up work but they lacked punch up front. Falkirk hit the post then took the lead (48) but McParland levelled (51) with a loose ball close in. 2 more goals earned Falkirk the points as Thistle faded and remained pointless at the bottom.
