Match Report

TTA report

Gray saved a pen (10) but Thistle were seldom comfortable even although McParland (15) and McBride's left foot shot (45) had given them a 2-goal lead. Rovers scored just after half-time then Thistle squandered chances. Raith scored again but Hogan's tremendous mazy run set up Duffy for the winner (75).
