Match Report

TTA report

After a bright start (a McCulloch free-kick went close) the game deteriorated into a scrappy affair. Morton had most of the few chances going. Brady blasted over (41) and another McCulloch free-kick went wide (67) before Morton snatched the winner from 6 yards (73). Thistle never looked like equalising.

Media report

08-Apr-2006, bbc.com

Striker Jason Walker's close-range strike after gave Morton a deserved victory that deals a blow to Partick Thistle's Division Two play-off hopes. Chris Millar lit up a disappointing game after the break with a deft back-heel that won the points. The midfielder set up Walker, who shot home from six yards, despite some Thistle attempts to clear off the line. Home substitute James McPake went close to grabbing a second with a well-hit 18-yard drive saved by Kenny Arthur.
