Match Report

TTA report

It took Thistle about 20 minutes to get their first shot on target. By that time Rovers had had the better start and had gone close with a shot that went just wide. On the half hour mark Thistle went 1-down when slack marking left the Rovers' No 8 in the clear to take a pass and shoot past Rough. In the second half things improved when Lawrie and McQuade switched wings. Coulston got Thistle's equaliser 15 minutes from the end.
