Match Report

TTA report

Thistle wasted a few early chances but Ayr were the better team with their incisive attacks and goals in 38 and 42 put them in command. They went further ahead (68) and a penalty (73) made for a poor, tame end to what had been a memorable season. Graham of Ayr scored all 4 goals.
