Match Report

TTA report

Cracking start to the season. An unstoppable half volley put Thistle behind (6) but McLean equalised (pen, 21). A poor pass back led to relegated Saints' 2nd (25) but a bullet header from Elliot made it 2-2 (38). Saints made it 3-2 (64) but Lennon was set up by Britton for a point (86). Smashing game.

Media report

04-Aug-2001, bbc.com

A late equaliser by Danny Lennon ensured an exciting end as it was once again Firhill for thrills in the First Division. The promoted club and relegated St Mirren produced a game fit for two sides expected to be in the title hunt by the end of the season. Scoring began after 16 minutes, when Saints' defender Barry McLaughlin rifled a superb shot into the net. Five minutes later, the home side equalised when Scott McLean calmly slotted home a penalty after Martin Hardie had been upended in the box. Jose Quitongo scored the second for Saints after 25 minutes when he latched on to a back pass from Denis Connaghan that fell short. Seven minutes before half-time, Barry Elliot brought the home side level again with a superb header from a Danny Lennon free-kick. Saints thought they had stolen the points in the 64th minute when substitute and new signing Alex Burns scored with his first touch for the club. But the celebrations were short-lived as the home side snatched a late equaliser as skipper Lennon thumped home Gerry Britton's pass.
