notes

BBC/SB credit Steven Campbell with Thistle's opening goal. HA/SM/DR say it was Mark Roberts. We go with the latter in the meantime but would really like to see this one cleared up by video evidence.

Match Report

TTA report

A brisk start saw Thistle take the lead with a Roberts header following a corner. They survived some Livingston close shaves before the equaliser (79). Roberts scored from a Donnelly pass (80). Ferguson went close but Livingston equalised (87) and having led twice, Thistle had to settle for a point.

Media report

19-Aug-2006, bbc.com

A late goal from captain Dave Mackay helped Livingston salvage a draw in an entertaining game at Almondvale. The visitors took the lead on seven minutes when Simon Donnelly's header was nodded on by Craig Sives for Steven Campbell to force the ball over. Livingston had to wait until the 78th for MacKay to headed home a chipped cross from Scott Mitchell. Mark Roberts shot the Jags back in front but MacKay grabbed his second after a momentous goalmouth scramble.
