Media report

Partick Thistle waved farewell to the possibilities of promotion a week ago and could not raise their game to take on Stenhousemuir at Larbert, with the home side triumphing 2-0. It was goalless at half-time in a fairly drab match, but the proceedings came to life when David Wood opened the scoring in the 58th minute. Thistle roused themselves -with manager John Lambie in their dugout you would not expect anything less -but could not crack the Stenhousemuir defensive code. It was all over in the 74th minute, though, when Keith Wright, the former Hibs, Dundee and Raith Rovers striker, showed he had not lost his touch in front of goal. The former Scotland international striker rattled in a fine effort to bring the curtain down on Thistle. Still, with the Firhill fans' eternal optimism, there is always next season. At least, they can take solace from the fact that they have not suffered the dreadful fate that befell the team who have shared Firhill with them this season, Hamilton.
