Match Report

TTA report

Aberdeen (5 straight defeats) were much changed and they took the lead with a header (7) then a through ball split the Thistle defence for the 2nd (14). Smith scored from close in (34) and Duffy levelled with 3 Aberdeen players around him (45). Niven blocked a shot but was beaten by the rebound (56). New York or Fairs Cup beckoned.
