Match Report

TTA report

Rovers deserved their 2-goal lead at half-time. When Ledgerwood saved a pen (52) Thistle rallied. Ewing scored with a hook shot after a scramble (56) then Crowe headed home a MacKenzie cross (63). MacKenzie broke from the half-way line, beat a defender and lobbed the keeper for the winner (82). Revenge of sorts.
