Match Report

TTA report

An error-strewn first half saw Thistle struggle to get into the game. Gibson dithered and wasted their only chance. Grant fired home at a corner just after half-time then Rovers had most of the play. Charnley was denied a pen late on and Thistle survived a torrid last 10 minutes for 2 vital points without ever playing well.

Media report

13-Jan-1994, Glasgow Herald

A GOAL in the opening minute of the second half breathed life into this dull match at Stark’s Park last night. Roddy Grant’s strike for Thistle also stung Raith into action — and the Glasgow side had to weather a storm before clinching the points. It took 11 minutes before the first shot was registered, but David Sinclair’s 20-yard effort sailed wide of the Thistle goal. Two minutes later the quick thinking of Willie Jamieson blocked a cross intended for Raith’s Ally Graham. Thistle looked to Chic Charnley and Alex Taylor to provide a creative edge, but they fired only sporadically. Charnley was injured and booked in 41 minutes for a challenge on Rowbotham, but the Thistle midfield player had the last laugh. His corner just 30 seconds after the restart found Jamieson at the back post, and his flick was turned home by Grant. Raith’s Jason Dair curled a fine shot round a post after 55 minutes and then the young winger almost reached a Rowbotham drive across goal. Just after the hour mark Thistle keeper Craig Nelson punched clear a Nicholl free kick and then parried a Sinclair drive. In the final minute Nelson dropped a Nicholl corner, but Dalziel and Graham failed to capitalise.
