Match Report

TTA report

Dowie and Fulton were released and Mitchell transfer-listed because they didn't stay and watch the game. Some early chances gave Thistle some hope but they went 1-down (12). A header into an empty net made it 2-0 then Escalas diverted a Gibson (A) shot (87) but it meant little. Almost certainly doomed with Rovers.

Media report

09-Apr-2005, bbc.com

Partick Thistle are another step closer to the drop after defeat away to already-relegated Raith Rovers. Pat Clarke laid up the opener for Neil Jablonski to finish from 12 yards and put Rovers into an early lead. Clarke glanced home Paul McMullan's corner despite Thistle having most of the second-half pressure. The Jags pulled one back with three minutes left when Andy Gibson set up Juan Ramón for an easy finish.
