Match Report

TTA report

By far the better side in the first half, Thistle's midfield ran the show and Park hit the post. Morton had a better second half but, even so, seldom looked like doing anything until a brilliant pass by Ritchie set up the opener (75) then an even better goal involving several players (83) made the points safe.
