| Only 12,282 saw Thistle's 1st S-F appearance since 1950. Blunders by Rough gifted Aberdeen 2 goals (31 and 39) but Thistle fought on and sub Melrose scored with a glorious overhead kick (64). It was all Thistle until a dubious pen (71) then it was all over (77). Fighting on, a Melrose header (88) made it 4-2. |
