Match Report

TTA report

Physical Arbroath were lucky to finish with 11 men. 3 injured Thistle players had to be replaced. Fine play was rewarded when McLean scored from a Stirling cross (37) but Arbroath equalised (42) then hit the post. second half domination brought no rewards and, in fact, Arbroath almost stole it at the death.

Media report

07-Aug-2000, Daily Record

ONE IN ROWE FOR GEORGE. GEORGE ROWE has vowed to replay Arbroath boss Dave Baikie for handing him the chance to resurrect his playing career. Rowe signed after quitting as Queen of the South boss at the end of last season and he celebrated his debut by grabbing the equaliser against Thistle. The big defender is determined to help Arbroath clinch promotion and he said: “It's the first time I've scored on a debut and I'm delighted. I knew Dave Baikie through dealing with him last term. He asked me about joining Arbroath and I'm glad I did because there is a brilliant atmosphere here.” Rowe headed his goal from a Kevin Fotheringham cross just five minutes after Scott McLean swept in Jered Stirling's pass to put the Jags in front in 37 minutes. Jags boss John Lambie said: “It was an end-to-end game and either side could have won.”
