Match Report

TTA report

Whittaker was booked early on then sent off just before half-time. Johnston was sacrificed at half-time for a defender (Lapsley). It all worked out well in the end however when O'Hara scored the only goal a minute into the second half. Thistle could even afford a missed penalty by Watson (87).
