Match Report

TTA report

Thistle had most of the play and went close several times but United (fresh from beating Airdrie 9-1) rattled the bar just before half-time. Niven was largely a spectator however and eventually Yard scored with a header from a McParland corner (80) for the 1st league win of the season. Up to 3rd bottom!
