Match Report

TTA report

Ex-JAG McBride scored (7) but Thistle responded positively and Motherwell's keeper was soon in action from Staite, Hainey and McParland. Play raged from end to end but Thistle's forwards couldn't apply a killer punch that their build-up play deserved. A 2nd goal came after a shot came off Niven (90).
