TTA report

Thistle (much-changed again) scored through Hainey (5). Falkirk missed a pen and although on the back foot they equalised (24). Brown scored from the spot (33) before Duffy made it 3-1 (46). Falkirk had their best spell after that and pulled a goal back (67). A first win but far from impressive, especially up front.

● Sandy Brown scores his last goal for Thistle.

ongoing sequences:

● 80 consecutive competitive appearances for Davie McParland, 25th Nov 1961 to date, a new personal best. (Longest run since: Sandy Brown - 90 games, 9th Sep 1961 to 21st Aug 1963. Club-record: Johnny Jackson - 313 games, 28th Aug 1926 to 25th Mar 1933.)
