Match Report

TTA report

A poor game. Niven parried a shot only to be beaten for an undeserved opener (18). Desperation crept in as Thistle huffed and puffed. McLindon was in fine form but the forwards wasted the chances he created until finally Duncan headed in one of his crosses (73) for a point. “Duncan saves Thistle” (AEE).
