Match Report

TTA report

“A rollicking match” (GH). St Mirren should have been well ahead by half-time as Thistle struggled. They missed a good chance early on then Rough dropped a shot and the rebound was knocked in (26). McAdam wasted a good chance just after half-time but O'Hara volleyed in a Houston cross from 25 yards (73).
