Match Report

TTA report

Thistle did most of the pressing but Rovers also had chances. Hodge put Thistle ahead with a header (48). Rovers had a shot cleared off the line (64) and a low shot (85) looked to have earned them a point but a last-minute goal by Gibson (a 25-yard shot) put Thistle back on winning ways. Back up to 3rd.

Media report

21-Mar-2006, bbc.com

Jimmy Gibson's last-gasp strike earned Partick Thistle maximum points against Raith at Stark's Park. The Jags took the lead in the 48th minute when Sandy Hodge powered home a header from 12 yards from Ricky Gillies' corner. Rovers grabbed a deserved equaliser with five minutes to go when skipper Todd Lumsden fired home Brian Fairbairn's cross. But the visitors claimed a win when Gibson lobbed home from 20 yards.
