Match Report

TTA report

After an even but scrappy start Motherwell took the lead (22). Thistle had several chances but nothing to worry the home keeper. They started the second half brightly but they fell further behind on the hour then a 3rd goal (69) killed the game off. Wright scored a consolation 5 minutes from time with a fast grounder. Still 4th bottom.
