Match Report

TTA report

Thistle (in all white) adapted better to the sea of mud and 2nd top Motherwell's neat passing floundered. McParland opened for Thistle (14). Kerr then took over and his hat-trick (a flying header from a free-kick, 31, 55 and 66, from a poor pass-back) killed the game. The woodwork also saved Motherwell twice.
