Match Report

TTA report

An excellent performance. Thistle dominated and Stirling hit the post (2) but his unstoppable 20-yard shot put Thistle ahead (8). Chances to extend the lead were spurned and Morton equalised (25) before Moss rounded the keeper for 2-1 (34). Morton hit the bar but Docherty volleyed home Moss' pass (81).

Media report

19-Jan-1997, The People

Wins for Dundee and Partick hotted up the race for the First Division play-off spot. Only seven points separate five teams behind leaders St Johnstone, who won 4-1 at Stirling. They replied to an early Bennett goal with scores from Weir, O'Boyle, twice, and O'Neil. Dundee were heading for a goalless draw against Clydebank when a defensive error gave them the break they needed and O'Driscoll scored. The Sterling-Moss combination got Partick Thistle off to a roaring start against Morton in their 3-1 win. Jererd Sterling and David Moss put them ahead with only a lucky goal by Hawk to show for Morton. Substitute Docherty made sure of victory for the Jags.
