TTA report

Kilmarnock scored (1) but Thistle settled, were the better team and Kennedy deservedly levelled with a typical solo run. The players had to take it easy due to the “excessive heat” (GH)! then Kilmarnock took the lead just on half-time. They were far better in the second half and ran out comfortable winners.

● 19-year-old Wattie Aitkenhead plays his last game for Thistle.
