Media report

22-Nov-1999, The Scotsman

PARTICK KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. PARTICK Thistle's late resurgence continued at the weekend as they celebrated a 2-1 win over Queen of the South at Palmerston Park. The result gives Thistle their first back-to-back wins this season and also means they have gone six games undefeated. Isaac English opened the scoring for John Lambie's side in the 12th minute, when he pounced on a slack pass-back from George Rowe, but Andy Aitken levelled the scores 16 minutes later. Derek Lyle restored the visitors' advantage midway through the second half to ensure a happy journey back to Glasgow with three welcome points in the bag. “My team were worthy of the win,” was Lambie's assessment. “We had the bulk of the pressure after the interval and had clear-cut chances to score, and we also hit the woodwork a couple of times. I am delighted with the result, but I am a bit concerned about filling the gap that will be left by Derek Ferguson's departure to Australia.”
