Match Report

TTA report

Runaway leaders Saints (15 points in front, unbeaten in 10) were denied by a brilliant save by Hillcoat (10). Thistle had passion and commitment but only occasional threats up front. The defence stood firm (Farrell and Hillcoat were excellent) as Thistle upset Sky's plans for a Christians to Lions Monday Night live match.

Media report

Natasha Woods, 14-Jan-1997, The Scotsman

The curse of Sky TV struck at McDiarmid Park last night as St Johnstone produced one of their least convincing displays of the season in a goalless draw against Partick Thistle. The Perth side remain 11 points clear, but they've yet to overcome the jinx which has seen them fail to record a win every time the cameras of the satellite broadcaster visit.
