Match Report

TTA report

Niven had a magnificent save (1) as Airdrie had the best of the early stages but a right foot drive by Hainey (35) and a Brown pen after McParland was pulled down (36) changed the game. It was effectively all over when Whitelaw lobbed the keeper (46). 9 straight wins, Thistle went top (at half-time!).
