Match Report

TTA report

Third-top Dundee sprung Thistle's off-side trap to open (14) then Thomson missed an open goal to level. Dundee scored a 2nd (18) before Davidson scraped the bar with a 20-yard free-kick. Thistle's fight-back faded and goals 60, 65 (Freebairn dropped a harmless cross) and 87 completed the rout. Down to 14th. Very poor.
