OH/SM/MP all credit Martin Hardie with Thistle's 35th minute opener but SB has Paul McGrillen. We stick with the majority. For the record, the SM cutting and MP report confirm Hardie touched home a McGrillen shot.

Stranraer scored from 25 yards (49). 2 more pen claims were rejected before Lindau scored from close in (66).

Media report

14-Aug-2000, Daily Record

PETER BACK IN LINDAU THE LIVING. SICK Peter Lindau left Stranraer feeling under the weather at Firhill. The Swede hauled himself out of his sick bed to grab Partick Thistle's winner. And he said: “I've had food poisoning for two weeks now and I still have it. It's almost away but the doctor has given me some vitamins to help clear it up. I'm not 100 per cent fit and I am very tired after today.” Martin Hardie knocked in Paul McGrillen's shot to give Thistle the lead after 35 minutes. But four minutes after the break Ian Harty pulled one back with a 30- yard screamer into the top right corner. Lindau dribbled past two defenders to net the winner in 66 minutes. Jags boss John Lambie said: “Slack defending allowed them back into the game but I'm delighted to get the win.” Stranraer boss Billy McLaren said: “The better team lost. We were the better package and had two or three golden chances.”
