TTA report

22,000 saw the replay. Gibson scored just on half-time to cancel out an early strike by Thirds. Wilson put Thistle ahead (47) but a penalty levelled things and a 3rd goal ended Thistle's interest in the cup but it could have gone either way. Thistle were technically better but Thirds got the goals that mattered.
