Match Report

TTA report

Save after save by Rough kept the score sheet blank as Thistle toiled against bottom club (and bogey team) Ayr. Pressure finally paid off and Ayr went ahead (59) then a low header doubled the lead (77). Somner's pen (85) made things look tighter than they were. The culprit was red-carded disputing the foul.
