TTA report

Top-equal Morton took the lead (2) then their left-back went off injured for 20 minutes and their makeshift side conceded 2 goals. They equalised (65) but Freebairn completed his hat-trick for 3-2. Morton piled on the pressure and were unlucky as shots rained in (hitting the bar twice) but it ended 3-2. Fortunate.
