Match Report

TTA report

Moss dithered and Maskrey nipped in to finish (14). After a double clearance off the line by Farrell, Moss got the 2nd at a corner, the keeper looking suspect (27). Thistle switched off and a header reduced the lead (55). It was almost 2-2 before Lyons was gifted an open goal by the erratic keeper (90).

Media report

02-Feb-1997, The People

Partick Thistle comfortably overcame East Fife 3-1 going 1-0 up through Maskry. Moss made it two and Partick appeared to be coasting at half time. But McFarlane gave East Fife some hope with his first goal for the club. The Glasgow side found life slightly more difficult but Lyons took the pressure off Jags' fans with a late third goal that secured a comfortable victory.
