Match Report

TTA report

The 9-game unbeaten run came to an end as Thistle went behind (20-yard shot, 10), fought back, were denied a pen then conceded again shortly before half-time. A pen just after half-time (hand ball) finished the run. Rough had some magnificent saves after that and was carried off late on (leg gash). Whittaker deputised.
