A well-fought victory. Jamieson's low header at the back post at a corner gave Thistle the lead (34). Cameron made it 2-0 with a shot from 15 yards (49) when Dundee failed to clear their lines. Dundee had a man sent off (61) but Thistle coped with their spirited fight-back. Craig's header hit the bar late on.

‘Locals’ give Thistle added edge…

ASTUTE Partick Thistle manager John Lambie relied on local knowledge to surmount his side’s latest premier-division hurdle at Dens Park on Saturday. It worked a treat, and they stretched their unbeaten league run to five games with a 2-0 win. Lambie nominated seven players with Tayside know-how, among them a couple of Dundonians, three former Dark Blues, an ex-City neighbour of the hosts, and a man whose career began just a few miles up the coast at Arbroath. The “locals” gave Thistle an added edge and showed the Tayside audience what they are missing these days. For Willie Jamieson and Albert Craig especially, what transpired must have tasted sweet, the pair having been released by Dundee manager Simon Stainrod after having been adjudged surplus to requirements.

Jamieson not only contrived to turn in a five-star display in the heart of the Thistle defence, but completed a happy return to his former stamping ground with the afternoon’s opening goal, his first strike for his new employers. Thirty-five minutes of end-to-end action had elapsed when a rehearsed corner kick routine left the defender the easiest of tasks to nod his side ahead at the far post. That opener had followed Thistle’s only black moment of the afternoon, former Gayfield man Mark McWalters being forced into a premature departure because of concussion. But Ian Cameron stepped on from the substitutes’ bench and completed his finest hour in a Thistle jersey. It was fitting that his constant probings should result in the goal which tied it up for the visitors, an angled strike of power and accuracy five minutes into the second half.

The biggest surprise of the day came with manager John Lambie’s admission that his side had performed well below par. He stated: “That was the worst we have played in weeks. Still, the result was acceptable.” Suffice to say, Lambie’s comments just about summed up Dundee’s part in the proceedings. And manager Stainrod clearly agrees, announcing yesterday that he will have two experienced guests at Dens Park this week on trial.
