Match Report

TTA report

On a bone-hard pitch sprinkled with frost, both keepers had to look lively in the first half as the teams went looking for the opener. The ball flashed past Niven from 18 yards for the opener (54). Thistle still made chances but a goal from close in (71) killed them off with 2nd bottom Airdrie finishing well on top.
