3 mins from h-t the public address system started to blare out pop music. The ref had to stop the match and get it turned off.

TTA report

Airdrie scored (26) but scarcely deserved the lead. Fine goalkeeping, the off-side trap and over-anxiousness denied Thistle until McParland intercepted a rolled pass out and lobbed the keeper (72). Ewing's header from McParland's cross (77) and McParland's fine drive from wide right (90) put things right.
