Match Report

TTA report

Second Division Ayr took the lead from a free-kick headed goalwards and stabbed in from a yard (19). They should have gone 2-up before Thistle equalised through Roberts at a corner (44). Buchanan scored at the back post (56) to signal an Ayr revival. They came back strongly but neither team could find the net again.

Media report

24-Nov-2007, bbc.com

Partick fought back from behind to book their place in the Scottish Cup fourth round draw. United stunned their hosts by taking the lead after 19 minutes through Alex Williams and keeper Craig Hinchliffe kept the Jags in contention. However, the home side equalised in first-half stoppage time when Mark Roberts scored from close range. Thistle's recovery was complete when Ryan McStay's free-kick fell for Liam Buchanan who drilled home the winner.
