Match Report

TTA report

The 1st home league win was a fast, exciting game. Thistle had Smith to thank for some fine goalkeeping early on then Thistle (showing several changes) settled. The goals came from McInnes (66, from 6 yards) and Ewing (88, also from close in and his 1st goal for the club). Saints hit the bar (90). A comfortable win in the end.
