Match Report

TTA report

“Dundee never offered a serious challenge against half-paced Thistle” (ET). Gilmour scored with a tap in (19) then Smith dribbled round two defenders and scored a 2nd (21). Dundee were better after the break but Thistle were seldom threatened by them. “Partick ambled into a careless outlook” (BU).
