TTA report

Campbell was sacked on 27 March and replaced by Jimmy Bone. Thistle struggled against the wind in the first half and Smith cleared off the line early on. They did have their chances but Gretna scored 33 and 69. It was Thistle's last ever game against Gretna, a team they never beat.

Media report

Allan Jenkins was denied from close range and David Graham hit the crossbar moments later as Gretna dominated. Gretna opened the scoring in the 33rd minute after Colin McMenamin rounded two defenders in the box. Thistle's Allan Russell came close from long range, but James Grady headed home the second from a David Graham cross.
