notes

HA credits Kevin McKinlay with Thistle's fourth but SB/BBC/SM/DR all say that Higgins diverted a McKinlay cross into his own net. We go with this majority view.

Match Report

TTA report

Another comfortable win against Clyde. Chaplain (loose ball, 18) and Buchanan (through ball, 37) made it 2-0 at half-time as Thistle dominated. A Twaddle header at the back post (61) then an OG completed the scoring (72). For once, Clyde seldom threatened all afternoon and remained 2nd bottom. Thistle went 2nd top.

Media report

18-Aug-2007, bbc.com

Partick Thistle produced a great attacking display to rip derby rivals Clyde apart in the Firhill rain. Scott Chaplain fired the Jags ahead when the visitors failed to clear David Rowson's drilled cross. Liam Buchanan hit the woodwork and was twice denied by David Hutton saves before extending Thistle's lead. Thistle went further ahead when Marc Twaddle headed home Stevie Murray's free-kick from close range and Chris Higgins hit a late own goal.
