Match Report

TTA report

Dundee took the lead (4) and hit the post 3 minutes later. More poor defending and it was 2-0 (11). The second half saw Thistle more in the game but lacking a finish. Ledgerwood fisted a pen over the bar (57) but a 3rd goal killed them off before Smith scored (71) robbing a defender of a cheeky back heel to make the score look slightly better. Well beaten.
