Originally scheduled for Hampden Park, but switched to Firhill as Hampden was being used for a schoolboys game!

Match Report

TTA report

It was a poor first half but Thistle had the best of it because their forwards were marginally better than Clyde's. Smith got the opener from a MacKenzie pass (35). Ewing and McParland might have increased the lead but a pen (50) put Clyde back level. It was livelier after that and a 20-yard lob (85) and a scorching shot (87) won it.
