Match Report

TTA report

Thistle produced a “strange mixture of excellent and mediocre play” (GH). Whitelaw was set up by Duffy (16) and they had the best of things but it was still 1-0 at half-time. Falkirk (pointless so far) equalised (55) but a scrambled goal by Hainey and a free-kick from Brown in the last 10 minutes won it. Top of the section.
