Match Report

TTA report

“Thistle carried as much menace as a comatosed goldfish” (GH). With strikers McConalogue and Keogh playing like strangers it was left to Roberts (playing in midfield) to take the lead (68) from 25 yards. County equalised with a shot from the edge of the box (half cleared corner, 93). It was their only shot on target.

Media report

10-Feb-2007, bbc.com

Inverness-bound Don Cowie's injury-time equaliser gave Ross County a precious point in their battle against relegation from Division One. Partick Thistle's Simon Donnelly almost scored direct from a cross, but Alex Keddie booted the ball off the line. Thistle took the lead when top scorer Mark Roberts took a pass from Billy Gibson in his stride and unleashed a superb 30-yard drive. But Cowie volleyed home after Thistle failed to clear a corner.
