Match Report

TTA report

With Marr and Anderson refusing to sign new contracts (or even temporary ones) and one (McLeod) walking out of the club, there was strife on and off the park. No-punch Thistle missed heaps of chances and Kilmarnock scored with their 1st serious attack (69) with a back-post header.
