Match Report

TTA report

Bertie Auld was appointed 11 June. Houston from 15 yards (25), a side foot from McQuade (36), McQuade again from a corner (42) and a long-range strike from Craig (46) put Thistle in a commanding lead but they went to sleep and almost let the Danes earn a draw. “Jekyll and Hyde Thistle” (ET).
