Match Report

TTA report

158 Thistle fans saw their team take the lead (11) when Young headed in a Strachan cross but hesitant defending led to 2 County goals (16, 25). Despite all Thistle's possession in the second half, there was no way back as chances were missed as things got increasingly frantic. County hit the post late on.

Media report

Ross County moved four points clear of bottom club Airdrie United with a vital victory over Partick Thistle. Thistle were dragged into the relegation dogfight despite Derek Young heading them ahead from the six-yard line in the 11th minute. But Martin Scott fired home Ross County's equaliser from close range five minutes later. And Derek Adams lashed home the winner after a Hugh Robertson's ball into the box was touched on by Dean Shields.
