Match Report

TTA report

Thistle were dominated by Aberdeen in the first half but a low shot from 15 yards (4) was all they had to show for their efforts. A better second half (with O'Hara on as a sub) saw Thistle control the midfield and enjoy a lot of pressure but they couldn't find a way past a strong Aberdeen defence. Still 3rd bottom.
