Match Report

TTA report

Thistle came back from 1-down and scraped past a makeshift Falkirk side with the Cup Final on their minds. Goals by Moss and McWilliams (pen) retrieved the situation. MacLeod said massive improvements would be made the following season - but he wasn't there to see them. He resigned 23 May.
