Match Report

TTA report

Hesitant goalkeeping by Gray caused Falkirk's opener by future manager Lambie (16) then McLindon blasted over but play was largely confined to midfield. It was 2-0 (46) before Cowan's header hit the post. Thistle fought on and goals by Cowan and Ewing (63 and 68) earned a fighting share of the points.
