Match Report

TTA report

Duncan scored (header from a corner, 7) but it was all square (10). Ewing made it 2-1 (keeper's mistake at a corner, 17) but ex-JAG Duffy came back to haunt Thistle (once again) just on half-time. Niven showed his class in the second half and both teams had to settle for a point to join Motherwell in 2nd bottom= place.
