Match Report

TTA report

Kerr took a pass, swerved past a defender and lobbed the advancing keeper (37). Donlevy baffled the keeper with a ball that bounced in front of him, off the roof of the net and over the line (58). An excellent performance with most of the chances going to Thistle who adapted better to the frozen pitch.
