Match Report

TTA report

Top club Hearts were 2-up in 13 minutes as a result of mistakes by Ledgerwood. The best goal of the night was Crawford's header from a corner (40) but it was 3-1 at half-time. Thistle, with 5 1st-team regulars missing, went close several times after half-time but they were well beaten in a “scrambling, methodless game” (GH).
