TTA report

Nimmo scored (41) when Devine was floored but the ref allowed play to continue. Lowly Aberdeen hit the bar twice in the second half and had the better chances but Thistle were more direct. Play was often scrappy and towards the end Thistle missed a few chances. A draw would have been a fairer result.
