Match Report

TTA report

Apart from a blocked Chaplain shot in the opening minutes, Livingston were on top for most of the first half. They took the lead (30) with a deflected 25 yard shot then missed a good chance to go 2-up. Substitutions at half-time had a brief impact but the young Thistle team seldom posed any threat.

Media report

19-Apr-2008, bbc.com

Livingston took the points with a 1-0 win in an impressive display against Partick Thistle at Almondvale. The only goal of the game came on the half-hour mark when a left-foot shot by Liam Fox deflected off Gary Harkins and looped over Jon Tuffey into the net. James McPake almost doubled the lead before half-time when he headed against the crossbar. Substitute Steven Weir had a late opportunity for Livi but his shot was well saved by Tuffey.
