Media report

29-Apr-2001, Sunday Mail

CHAMPIONS Thistle broke Stranraer's promotion hopes with a smash and grab win. Stranraer's Ian Harty nabbed a 23rd minute lead which lasted three minutes as Jags' Mark McNally flicked home with his heel. Seven minutes later Paul Walker added to Stranraer's tally and two minutes before the break he struck again with the easiest of chances. But the Jags clinched it with goals from Barry Elliot, Scott McLean and sub Paul McGrillen who nabbed the dramatic winner with just two minutes remaining.
