TTA report

Both teams missed chances before Gibson scored (35) with a shot from distance that was fumbled by the keeper to give Thistle the lead against a good Rovers team. Hair nipped in (60) when a pass-back stuck in the mud and 2 defenders left it to each other. “The game at Firhill was rich in half-back play” (GH).
