Morton, relegated from the Premier Division and with ex-Jag O'Hara in defence, took the initiative from the start and went ahead (5) with an unmarked header. Thistle struggled to get into the game and the finishing was poor but Donnelly (J) equalised with a 20-yard free-kick (56) when Kelly was fouled.
