Match Report

TTA report

Dunfermline took the lead (20) when the ref ignored an off-side flag and the Thistle defence hesitated. Niven had some fine saves and Ewing was carried/assisted off twice for treatment. A much better performance after the break brought no reward and it was Dunfermline who scored again (73).
