Match Report

TTA report

“Extreme poverty of incident at Firhill“ (GH). A powerful header by Bone (17) gave Thistle the lead but increasingly burdened by the thought of winning, they fell out of the game, became ragged and were lucky to concede only one goal (79) then Rowan cleared off the line late on to hold on to the point.
