Match Report

TTA report

Thistle struggled on a disgraceful, rutted, stone-strewn pitch. Rovers could have been 2 or 3-up before they scored (36). Joe Craig headed in a Houston free-kick (54) then Somner saw his penalty saved (65) but, as Rovers faded, substitute McQuade knocked in a Joe Craig shot that rebounded off the keeper (73).
