Match Report

TTA report

Thistle only had themselves to blame for not building a good lead against a shaky defence in the first half. Their defence was bewildered at a free-kick (45) and a shot from 20 yards (46) did the damage. Cup semi-finalists Dunfermline were content to sit back and although Duffy scored 4 minutes from time, Thistle had left it too late.
