Match Report

TTA report

5 straight wins and Thistle went top. Bryce opened the scoring with a volley (27) then Arbroath had a goal disallowed as Thistle looked far from impressive. Morgan scored with a pen (foul on Lauchlan, 46) and the Arbroath defender was red-carded. Thistle should have gone on and scored more, but didn't.

Media report

27-Sep-1998, Scotland on Sunday

Partick Thistle began the day in second place, but are now top on goal difference after player-manager Tommy Bryce led the way. He opened in the 27th minute against Arbroath at Firhill. The Angus club are propping up the division, and their position was confirmed when Alan Morgan netted a penalty two minutes into the second half. To complete their miserable day, Steven Florence was ordered off.
