Match Report

TTA report

Saints had several good chances and a goal chalked off. Ex-JAG Grant had an outrageous dive in the box. A good spell before half-time looked hopeful but a Slavin OG gave Saints a lift (75) then Thistle were denied a pen and had a Lyons shot cleared off the line. A goal rubbed the salt in (90). Down to the bottom.

Media report

David Leggat, 08-Sep-1996, Scotland on Sunday

IT took St Johnstone a long time to score their first home win of the season and dispense with the nuisance value which was all Partick Thistle presented. When Roddy Grant put the ball in the net to put the home club on their way to victory it came exactly 70 minutes-after the Perth side first believed they had taken the lead. In the 90th minute, St Johnstone underlined their overall supremacy when a tremendous pass from O’Boyle was expertly controlled by Steven Tosh before he angled his low shot in off the post.
