Match Report

TTA report

Bottom club Falkirk had Thistle in their pockets until the last 10 mins. Leading 2-0 at half-time (the 2nd a pen) they never looked like losing until Craig (84) and Houston (88) scored. Even later, Thistle were 4 on 2 but Chalmers fluffed the chance to steal both points but one robbery was enough.
