Match Report

TTA report

Thistle showed an “adventurous and attacking spirit” (GH) and had the better of things in the first half. Sweeney was unlucky when he hit the post. Inexplicably, Cormack replaced 2 strikers with 2 full-backs at half-time. Once Morton scored (52) Thistle had more and more possession but could do nothing with it. Still bottom.
