TTA report

It was dull, foggy and wet but the fans in the modest crowd got an early boost with goals from Proudfoot and Freebairn. St Mirren reduced the lead just after half-time from the pen spot but a Blackwood double (making it 9 in his last 6 matches) made for an easy win.

● David Proudfoot scores his last-known goal for Thistle.
