Match Report

TTA report

A dour battle for midfield supremacy with defences on top. Morton had a few close things early on then Houston had an effort cleared off the line and a Gibson scorcher went just past. It was even in chances made and wasted until a header came off the bar and was nodded back across for a tap-in (80).
