Match Report

TTA report

New North Stand opened. A scrappy affair on a hard, bumpy pitch. A 25-yard free-kick (78) gave County (unbeaten in 10) the lead but Hardie scored with a low drive seconds later. Cameron went close twice and he was the only real goal threat. The draw set up potential title win against Airdrie.

Media report

30-Mar-2002, bbc.com

Partick Thistle extended their lead at the top of Division One despite being held to a draw by battling Ross County. With Airdrie slipping up in Inverness, The Jags are now seven points clear with four games remaining. Hugh Robertson put the visitors in front with a magnificent free kick after 78 minutes. However, Martin Hardie pulled one back just two minutes later when he volleyed home a clever flick on from Martin Cameron. Cameron had been the main culprit as Partick contrived to squander a number of chances in a first half dominated by the Maryhill side. As the game drew to a close, Thistle went all out for the victory but in the end had to settle for a point. Partick travel to Airdrie next weekend knowing a win would wrap up promotion to the Premier League.
