Match Report

TTA report

Thistle only had a long run and shot by Houston mid-way through the first half to show all afternoon. Motherwell took some time to get their act together but with three second half goals they ran out easy winners. Thistle, with 4 bookings, were a sorry looking bunch, apart from Rough who had some fine saves.
