AGG: 1-5. Skill and power saw Morton through. Thistle matched them in the first half then slumped badly. Park hit the bar (2) but Morton went ahead (19). O'Hara equalised from 30 yards (39) but it was all Morton after that. Goals (54, 71 and 85) saw Thistle off before O'Hara was sent off (disputed, alleged, kick.)
