Match Report

TTA report

Weakened by a number of injuries and “tired and jaded” (Lambie), Thistle played some neat football but lacked any goal threat. Arthur had a fine double save before Arbroath headed themselves into the lead (39). Lots of Thistle pressure brought no reward and the ball never seem to run kindly for them.

Media report

26-Feb-2002, bbc.com

Arbroath boosted their First Division survival hopes with a stunning victory over league leaders Partick Thistle. John McGlashan was their hero as he headed home the only goal after 39 minutes following a fine cross from Andy Cargill. Victory pushes Arbroath into fourth place, yet only six points clear of the second-bottom relegation spot. That is the same points difference between Thistle and Airdrieonians, but Ian McCall's side now have two matches in hand. Arbroath boss John Brownlie handed a debut to Steven Moffat, their recent signing from Ipswich Town, in place of the suspended Innes Ritchie. Moffat thought he had added a second goal three minutes later when he got on the end of a Steve Mallan cross. But his effort flashed into the side netting. Partick pressed hard for an equaliser, but the best they had to show for their efforts was a long-range effort from Alex Burns after he had played a neat one-two with Gerry Britton. The teams meet again on Saturday at Firhill in the second of a crucial double-header.
