Match Report

TTA report

Montrose's first corner led to a foul by Carson and the pen was converted (5). A header by Gallagher (43) put unchanged Thistle level then Watson wasted a free-kick just after half-time. It was 2-1 after Thistle failed to clear their lines (54) then a bullet header (58) put Montrose well ahead. A dismal performance.
