An OG spared Thistle's blushes against Second Division Falkirk. The defence was sound enough but the forwards lacked punch. A shot from McAdam was deflected off a Falkirk forward back defending (80) but he shot home a cross (88) to make up for his earlier lapse leaving Thistle with an uphill task in the 2nd leg.
