TTA report

After an even first half in which Brough had some fine saves and Gallagher headed just wide then missed a good chance, Clyde headed over (46) but a cross was coolly tucked away (70). The goal looked to have earned Clyde the points but a soft Watson penalty (foul, 80) earned Thistle a rather lucky point.
