Match Report

TTA report

Bottom club Falkirk (showing 7 changes and 1 point in 18) survived early pressure until Duffy scored from close in (15) then Falkirk equalised (19). Smith beat 4 men and hit the bar then Gray misjudged a cross and the ball dropped in (39). The second half saw little goalmouth action. Some of Thistle's finishing was “deplorable“ (ET).
