Match Report

TTA report

After an aimless 20 minutes Smith scored (23) with a low shot from 20 yards. McParland and Devine went close as Thistle pressed. 2nd bottom Dunfermline had their chances to level but it was Smith who scored again from 20 yards (62). A magnificent double save kept it at 2-0. All in all, “a pathetic exhibition“ (ET). “Dismal“ (SP).
