Match Report

TTA report

Thistle's defence went AWOL and Rough was lobbed (10) and it could have been more but a spirited reply in the second half saw Clark drive home (60) to level. It looked like a draw until Thistle lost possession and 2nd top Aberdeen scored with a breakaway (poor marking of a run into the box, 84). Bottom=.
