Match Report

TTA report

The teams (both pointless) went at it from the start but the keepers were in good form; the shooting was erratic. Houston was sent off (retaliation, 33) but ironically Thistle had the better chances after that. Defences were on top but Gibson was a constant threat. Had his finishing been better it could have been a win.
