TTA report

Proudfoot scored (30) with “Blackwood looking after the goalkeeper” (GH). Fairbairn made it 2-0 at half-time. In the second half Blackwood got number 3 with a header. Bottom club Hamilton (without a win) had a good spell but it was largely Thistle late on and the visiting keeper kept the score down.
