Match Report

TTA report

Thistle equalised twice through Smith (from a Fleming pass, 33) and Fleming (completely unmarked, 38). Aberdeen's No 5, crocked and playing up front, scored twice after half-time as his side rattled in 3 without reply. McParland (also off injured at one point) blasted a good chance over that might have made it 3-3.
