Match Report

TTA report

Goals from Duffy, Whitelaw and McBride won the points. Falkirk's No 5 was injured and limped on the wing for most of the second half but they were well beaten before that. But for some excellent goalkeeping it could have been a bigger win. Thistle were the better team in all respects, especially at half-back.
