Match Report

TTA report

Considerably weakened by injuries, Thistle were on the back foot for most of the match and they went behind (10). Ledgerwood had a couple of vital saves then Donlevy cleared off the line. An OG put things level (65). Smith chased a long ball and beat the keeper (88) then Donlevy's 20-yard shot made sure (89).
