Match Report

TTA report

An open first half saw chances at both ends before Morgan scored with a pen (foul, 27). Poor defending let in Queens before half-time then they took the lead (51). A blunder by their keeper gifted Dunn the equaliser when he dropped the ball at his feet. He was also denied a late winner when he ran through but hit the post.

Media report

23-Aug-1998, Scotland on Sunday

Partick Thistle are finding life hard in this division after last term's relegation and they had to rely on a late goal to get a point in the 2-2 draw with Queen of the South at Firhill. Alan Morgan put the Maryhill men ahead in the 27th minute, but veteran striker Ken Eadie equalised 11 minutes later. The Dumfries outfit surprised Thistle by attacking them after the turnaround and justice was seen to be done when Craig Potts hit the second in the 51st minute. But Thistle are not a side without determination and spirit. They rolled up their sleeves and got waded in. Thistle came right back off the ropes and got the point-clincher through Robert Dunn in the 72nd minute. A draw seemed a fair result, but Thistle fans must realise they are in for a long, hard season with its usual twists and turns. Some things never change in Maryhill.
