96’Full Time Report

It's a remarkable end to the game as Jamie Sneddon up for a corner kick in the 4th minute of injury time heads home to earn Thistle a point. 

 
96’Full Time
90’+04’Goal Thistle! Jamie Sneddon
Cove Rangers 1 - Thistle 1

Seddon comes up for the corner and it's Sneddon that heads home. Remarkable stuff. His first goal of the season!!!

90’+03’Thistle corner from the right
 
90’

McIntosh bursts clear on the counter attack but the combination of Sneddon and then Muirhead deny the home side a second goal. 

 
90’

Into additional time

 
88’

Graham gets his head to a Hodson cross, but the ball is headed away from the goal by a defender. 

 
86’

Both Graham and Mullen get touches to a cross into the box but neither with any telling impact. 

 
85’

A first time shot from Weston at the edge of the Cove box is blocked by a defender. 

 
82’

We're deep into the final 10 minutes. We haven't had a hint of a Thistle chance in the second half so far. 

80’Thistle substitution: Aidan Fitzpatrick replaces Jack McMillan
 
79’

The corner is cleared but Thistle remain on the attack. 

78’Thistle corner from the left
 
78’

A foul on Turner wins Thistle a free kick. A shade too far out for a direct effort on goal. 

 
76’

Fyvie takes the free kick, gets the ball beyond the wall but not past Sneddon. 

75’Thistle Booking - Stuart Bannigan

A barge from Bannigan as Cove break earns him a yellow card and Cove a free kick just outside the Thistle box. 

75’Cove Rangers Booking - Fraser Fyvie
73’Thistle substitution: Tony Weston replaces Cole McKinnon
72’Cove Rangers corner from the right
 
71’

There is a lack of communication in the Thistle box and Fyvie has a chance, but Sneddon saves. 

70’Cove Rangers substitution: Leighton McIntosh replaces Gerry McDonagh
 
70’

Twenty minutes to go. Thistle continue to huff and puff and while there is no question over the work rate there is little inspiration in the final third. 

68’Cove Rangers substitution: Scott Ross replaces Luis Longstaff
 
67’

The ball wide to Milne is the most common route for Thistle at present. It's bringing little joy. This time Milne's cross is a little too close to McKenzie who is caught by Mullen. am the home side have a free kick. 

 
64’

Megginson picks up the ball, but his low drive is too close to Sneddon to trouble the Thistle keeper. 

 
61’

Milne gets the ball in a good position wide on the left. His cross isn't great though and the ball is too far in front of Graham for him to get on the end of. 

58’Cove Rangers corner from the left

Play quickly moves to the other end and it takes a good save from Sneddon to keep Megginson's shot out. 

 
58’

Turner takes the corner and it is cleared

57’Thistle corner from the left
 
54’

A slip from Brownlie allows McDonagh a clean run at goal. Sneddon has to make a decision to try and whip the ball away from the advancing Cove player and thankfully gets his timing spot on. 

 
51’

McKinnon crosses from the left but Mellen can't get himself on the end of that cross. It's encouraging from Thistle early in the second half. 

50’Cove Rangers corner from the left
 
49’

Graham gets a flick on inside the box, but McKenzie gets the ball away from Mullen. 

 
48’

Crowd: 1,128. 

45’Thistle substitution: Danny Mullen replaces Steven Lawless
45’Thistle substitution: Stuart Bannigan replaces Cammy Smith
 
45’Kick-Off (2nd half)
45’+04’Half Time Report

Thistle trail at the break to Megginson's goal after 5 minutes. 

It's not been awful from Thistle but it hasn't been great either. All a bit too comfortable for the home defence. 

 
45’+04’Half-Time
 
45’+03’

Turner's free kick is cleared. 

 
45’+02’

Still playing and Thistle have a free kick wide on the right. One last chance before half-time?

 
45’

We're into first half injury time. The flag goes up for offside against Thistle and the half will be over soon. 

 
42’

Turner picks the ball up after Lawless' corner is cleared but he sees his cross blocked. 

41’Thistle corner from the right
 
39’

Megginson makes clean contact this time with a shot from the edge of the box, but Sneddon is down quickly to make a routine save near his right hand post. 

 
38’

Megginson is able to step away from Brownlie but snatches at the opportunity he's given himself and drags the ball well wide of target. 

 
36’

It's another good ball in from Milne. McKenzie can't claim the cross first time but is able to grasp hold of it at the second attempt and before any Thistle player can get to it. 

 
33’

That should have been an equaliser. Milne crosses from the left and Graham's effort goes wide. Graham protests furiously that the ball was deflected wide but there is no corner forthcoming. 

 
29’

Smith fizzes a cross over from the right but there isn't a Thistle player within yards of getting on the end of it. Smith claims he was fouled but he isn't going to get a free kick for that. It continues to be comfortable for Cove. 

 
24’

Thistle again don't clear a cross from the right. The ball this time falls to Fyvie at the corner of the box and his effort isn't too far wide of Sneddon's left hand post. 

 
22’

Lawless looks in vain for a foul at the edge of the Cove box. It's all a bit too comfortable for the home side at the back at the moment with Thistle making little impression. 

21’Cove Rangers substitution: Fraser Fyvie replaces Shay Logan
 
19’

McKenzie spills a low cross but there is no Thistle player there to take advantage. 

 
18’

Turner does really well down the left hand side for Thistle but a challenge comes in and although the defender dies use his shoulder there isn't any real chance of a penalty. 

 
11’

We have a break in play while a Cove player receives some treatment. Thistle are continuing to move the ball about with a decent tempo but they haven't created anything since the loss of that early goal. 

05’Goal Cove Rangers! Mitch Megginson
Cove Rangers 1 - Thistle 0

Instead it is a nightmare start. Johnston crosses from the right. Muirhead doesn't get enough on the clearance and the ball falls to Megginson who blasts home despite the best efforts of Sneddon who gets a hand to the ball. 

03’Thistle corner from the left

It's nearly a dream start for Thistle. Turner finds Smith at the edge of the box and McKenzie has to touch the ball round the post for a corner. 

 
00’

Thistle under some early pressure as Sneddon gets his hand to a Longstaff cross with Gilmour unable to direct the loose ball towards the Thistle goal. 

 
00’

Thistle get the match underway. 

 
00’Kick-Off
 
00’Introduction

With Thistle looking to extend a winning run to a third game Ian McCall has made two changes to the side that started against Kelty in the Scottish Cup. 

Suspension rules out Ross Docherty following a red card in that Kelty game after Thistle's appeal was denied. Meantime Stuart Bannigan drops to the substitute bench. 

Into the starting eleven in their places come Cammy Smith and Lee Hodson.
