Match Report

TTA report

A shot off the bar (2) and when the defence was sold a dummy at a free-kick by ex-JAG McBride it led to a 2nd goal (5). Thereafter everyone could have gone home. Motherwell sat back; Thistle had little idea. A dive at McParland's feet and a Duffy header palmed on to the post were the only second half highlights.
