TTA report

5th top v 5th bottom saw Thistle take the lead when Gibson shot in off a post (12). Rough had a fine save then Coulston crashed over the boundary wall but he soon recovered. He nodded in a Houston cross (36). Stout defending and time wasting restricted Motherwell to a header over Rough (77).
