Match Report

TTA report

The teams had bad luck in front of goals. Stout defending kept it goalless until Keenan nipped in to head home a Smith cross (49) and he almost got another a minute later then Smith scored with a daisy cutter to extend the lead (58). Thistle ran out winners in the end but Kilmarnock were always a threat. Up to 5th.
