Match Report

TTA report

19th game in 62 days. Thistle went joint 2nd with Kilmarnock after this win but it was not an impressive performance. If anything, Falkirk played the neater football but lacked punch up front. They hit the woodwork twice. Whitelaw fired home a McParland cross (72) and Cowan finished off a Cunningham cut-back (75).
