Match Report

TTA report

After a fair enough start Kinniburgh was sent off (straight red, 39) but Thistle coped well with 10 men although chances became fewer as holding on to a point became the priority. Dundee scored a quality winner in added time so there was no reward for a performance full of grit and determination.

Media report

29-Dec-2007, bbc.com

A last-gasp Kevin McDonald goal was enough to keep Dundee's title hopes on track against 10-man Partick Thistle. With the game in stoppage time, McDonald twisted and turned inside the box before firing low past goalkeeper Craig Hinchliffe at his near post. The visitors had Wille Kinniburgh sent off for a clash with Jani Sturm five minutes before the break. Dundee's luck seemed out as they had goals by McDonald and Sturm ruled out for offside in each half.
