Match Report

TTA report

Yet more trouble with Stirling Albion. Thistle forced the pace, even with McKinnon off for 7 minutes with a face injury. He just missed from 25 yards then Brown, up with the forwards, went close twice. Despite all the effort and enterprising play it was goalless. Albion seldom threatened Niven.
