Match Report

TTA report

The treacherous footing didn't seem to bother 3rd bottom Rovers as they raced to a 3-0 lead at half-time (25, 39 and 42), the 1st goal coming from a poor Wright pass-back. It could have been 4-0 before McParland scored with a shot off a defender (54). Thistle pressed for a spell but made no further progress. Rovers' 1st away win for 12 months.
