Match Report

TTA report

Goals by Gibson (B) from close in when a Dowie header hit he bar (13), an Escalas shot (20) and Fleming (38, penalty for hand ball) had Thistle cruising at half-time. A nervy 20 min spell at the start of the second half saw them under pressure and concede 2 goals (51 and 65) but Hinds scored (84 and 86) for a 5-2 win.

Media report

24-Aug-2004, bbc.com

First Division Partick Thistle eased into the third round of the CIS Insurance Cup after overcoming in-form Stenhousemuir at Ochilview. Strikes from Billy Gibson and Juan Escalas and a Derek Fleming penalty put Thistle in control before the break. Paul McGrillen gave Third Division Stenny some hope after 51 minutes. Joe Savage added to Thistle's nerves 13 minutes later, but the Glasgow outfit made sure of victory with two superb individual efforts from Leigh Hinds.
