Match Report

TTA report

Thistle would “would have had extreme difficulty tackling a fish supper” (GH). 3 goals without reply saw Thistle sink to a new depths. No-one wanted the ball and when they did get possession it was surrendered cheaply. 4 straight defeats, the crowd turned on MacLeod yet again suggesting he alter his career path.

Media report

23-Mar-1997, The People

Partick Thistle were hoping that Lilley's proposed move to Dundee United had gone ahead. The deal fell through, and Lilley netted two of the three goals in Morton's win that demolishes the Jags' hopes of promotion. Anderson got the other goal.
