Match Report

TTA report

Both teams had chances but Airdrie shaded things in terms of pressure and possession. The only goal was from a well constructed move on the half-hour. In the second half Closs hit the post but “play was exceedingly tame” (ET) as the season ran out. Thistle finished 7th, but 19 points off the pace.
