Match Report

TTA report

Far from impressive, Thistle almost gifted Queens with a short pass-back. The first half finally came to life with 2 goals by Higgins (from close in, 42 and a header from a corner, 44) then Park set up O'Hara for 3-0 (50). Queens then missed 2 pens (the 2nd touched on to a post by Rough) before scoring (74).
