Match Report

TTA report

“Off-side orgy at Firhill. This indeed was pathetic poverty of football“ (GH). 26 off-side decisions, 22 other free-kicks and numerous throw-ins left little room for actual football. A Donlevy pen (20) and a Wilson goal after a stramash in front of goal (25) earned the win. Arbroath were denied a blatant pen late on.
