Match Report

TTA report

2 goals in 3 matches indicated where Thistle's problems lay. Doyle went close from 30 yards and Gibson and Higgins tried hard but there was no punch up front. A header from a corner (19) made for an uphill task but the forwards weren't up to breaking down First Division Ayr's solid defence.
