Match Report

TTA report

Thistle were undone by bottom placed United. They were full of spirit and took full advantage of the loss of Harvey to injury (24). Soon after they took the lead from a through ball. Thistle squandered chances and when a pass-back by Donlevy was intercepted (68) it was all over for the 10 men.
