Match Report

TTA report

Back to Kilmarnock and defeat, but this time the score flattered the home team. Thistle were skilful and spirited but found the Kilmarnock keeper in fine form. Niven was beaten by a header (71) and again (74) before Roxburgh's shot in the last minute gave unlucky Thistle their first goal of the season.
