Match Report

TTA report

A cut-back by Flood was swept home by Mitchell (18) but recently relegated Dunfermline fought back. The pressure was handled well enough until a 30-yard dipping shot by future-JAG Robertson made it 1-1 (63). The pressure eventually told and a header (76) put the game beyond Thistle.
