Match Report

TTA report

Morgan's fine run and shot from 25 yards gave Thistle the lead (31) but slack defending wiped it out (32). A fine move ended with Henderson's header (his first full game for nearly 8 months, 58). There were some nervous moments and good saves by Stewart before Thistle got only their 7th competitive win in 1997.

Media report

21-Sep-1997, Sunday Mirror

Thistle climbed off the bottom of the Division One with their first win of the season - the last club to break their duck. Their poor start to the season ended with a 2-1 win over Greenock Morton. Alan Morgan gave the new-look Jags a first half lead with a curling shot, but within a minute veteran John Anderson levelled. But Nicky Henderson wrapped up the win.
