Match Report

TTA report

Rough was in action straight away and apart from the odd counter-attack, it was all Aberdeen. Craig was injured going for a Hansen free-kick (42) and didn't resume after half-time. Increasingly it became a defensive master class by Rough, Campbell and Strachan. Aberdeen hit the post and there were few Thistle breaks on offer.
