Match Report

TTA report

Dundee had all the early pressure but it was Thistle who went ahead when a Mackie cross was deflected past the keeper for an OG (26). Joe Craig had the ball in the net soon after but an infringement ruled it out but when he was brought down in the box, Hansen (A) converted the pen (59).
