Match Report

TTA report

A real shocker as Thistle slumped to an embarrassing defeat. 3rd Div Rovers went 1-up (3) and Thistle woke up. A Ferguson near-post header (21) from a McCulloch corner levelled but Rovers scored a fine goal through future-JAG Chaplain (28). Thistle had most of the second half but couldn't find the net.

Media report

15-Aug-2006, bbc.com

Third Division Albion Rovers dumped Partick Thistle out of the Challenge Cup with a deserved win at Firhill. The minnows took just three minutes to sting Thistle with a scrambled goal from Martin McBride. Thistle drew level after 21 minutes when Brown Ferguson rose above Gordon Lennon to flick Scott McCulloch's corner into the roof of the net. But the Wee Rovers came storming back seven minutes later when Chaplain raced into the box to shoot home.
