Match Report

TTA report

Stewart was dropped, never to re-appear. Dumbarton took an early lead then Santala held off a defender and scored (27). McCulloch scored with the pen (39). Thistle couldn't find a 3rd goal their play deserved but it was late on before Dumbarton threatened and ex-JAG Gemmell hit the bar in the last min.

Media report

31-Dec-2005, bbc.com

Finnish striker Jukka Santala ended his loan period with Partick Thistle on a high note by scoring in a promotion-boosting win at Dumbarton. The home side got off to a great start with an early Ryan Borris goal. But Santala, on loan from Rangers, shot home despite appearing to control the ball with his hand. And Scott McCulloch scored from the penalty spot after James Smith grappled with Santala inside the box before both sides struck the woodwork.
