Match Report

TTA report

An unsavoury match. Thistle had a promising first half but couldn't find the net. A header was adjudged to have crossed the line (53) for 1-0 then ex-JAG Craig and Evans clashed and were red-carded (53) They “met“ in the tunnel. Late on a stonewall pen was denied and Turner was sent off for dissent.

Media report

25-Aug-1996, Sunday Mirror

Ally Graham's bizarre headed goal gave FALKIRK their first win of the season- a 1-0 victory against PARTICK THISTLE. Afer a disappointing first half Graham connected with a header which hit the back of Paul McGrillen's head and the crossbar before going over the line.
