Match Report

TTA report

Morton scored with virtually every shot at goal whereas Thistle missed a barrowload of chances. Morton scored (20) but Thistle deservedly equalised from a McAdam pen then a 2nd goal just before half-time flattered the visitors. An unbelievable number of sitters were missed and Morton scored (53 and 74).
