TTA report

With a gale and driving rain at their backs in the first half Freebairn (3), McNicoll and Blackwood (twice on his debut) made it 4-0. Unexpectedly, Leith could make nothing of the elements after the break and Thistle won easily to stay top, 4 points ahead of Morton. “Blackwood knows how to play centre” (GH).
