Match Report

TTA report

“Calum in fast lane” (DR). Wright headed Thistle into the lead (30) and Campbell scored after 11 secs of the second half. Rovers reduced the lead with a rebound off the bar (58) and panic set in. Murdoch saved a pen (83) but when Flood was sent crashing, Charnley scored with the one (85). A point almost thrown away.
