Match Report

TTA report

On an ice-bound pitch, Thistle fell behind (3), the defence in tatters. They were lucky it was only 1-0 at half-time. Duffy intercepted a short pass-back and equalised (46) but a bizarre swerving shot beat Freebairn (53). Brown (og) made it 3 (67). Motherwell, clearly the better team, hit the post twice and had 3 “goals“ deemed off-side so it could have been much worse.
