3rd bottom v 2nd top. Dumbarton took control with ex-JAG Kay prominent and went ahead from close range (27) then a fine goal by future-JAG McCoy doubled the lead (39). A brilliant save denied Carson just on half-time and nothing went right for Thistle; everything went right for Dumbarton. “A disgrace” (Johnstone).
