notes

OH/SM/SP/DR all have 2 goals for Davie McParland and 1 for Jimmy Mallon, but SC/GH/ET have it the other way around i.e. 2 goals for Jimmy Mallon and 1 for Davie McParland. It's the 5th which is in question. Obviously a tight call, but the former have better reports so we may as well stick with the OH position.

Match Report

TTA report

A one-sided win against Queens. Apart from a few early flurries, it was all Thistle. Goals from MacKenzie (an angled drive, 27 and a left-foot shot off a post, 63), McParland (header, 65), Mallon (a cool dribble and shot, 49 ), McParland (70) and Wright (85) won the points. Top of the league! MacKenzie was outstanding.
