2nd bottom v 2nd top was played in dreadful weather. It was closely fought and an unsavable shot (25) ended a miserable league season. Hearts lost their keeper mid-way through the first half. Thistle played better in the second half through Paul and Kirkland but squandered several chances. Voted out 30 May.
