Two in two minutes for Thistle and Tomi Adeloye. Milne with the assist this time who squares for Adeloye to tap home. 

79’Goal Thistle! Tomi Adeloye
Thistle 3 - Arbroath 0

Third time lucky for Adeloye. Fitzpatrick slips the ball through to Robinson who cuts back for Adeloye to fire home from 6 yards out. Thistle cruising now. 

 
77’

Fitzpatrick brushes past a tiring defender but on this occasion can only hit the side netting. 

75’Arbroath substitution: Kenan Dunnwald-Turan replaces Innes Murray

Another chance for Adeloye. This one slips wide of the post.

Crowd: 3,481

68’Thistle substitution: Tomi Adeloye replaces Brian Graham
68’Arbroath Booking - Gordon Walker
 
66’

The referee isn't winning any popularity polls at the moment with a series of decisions against Thistle. 

 
63’

An Arbroath clearance goes over the Colin Weir stand. Suspect we won't see that ball again. 

61’Thistle substitution: Scott Robinson replaces Blair Alston
 
58’

The referee seems to want to wait until the substituted Arbroath player is home in bed before he will allow the corner to be taken. When it finally is a tame header goes over the Thistle bar. 

57’Arbroath substitution: Joao Balde replaces Mark Stowe

The corner is dealt with but Arbroath have a throw down by the Thistle corner flag. 

46’Arbroath corner from the left
 
45’

We're back underway. No changes at the break from either side. 

 
45’Kick-Off (2nd half)
45’+02’Half Time Report

Bran Graham's 10th league goal of the season is enough to give Thistle a half-time lead. 

Thistle have come close to a second, especially as half-time approached, but have  not had things all their own way. Arbroath have enjoyed long spells of possession and look a threat at set plays. 

 
45’+02’Half-Time
 
45’

Into first half additional time. 

 
43’

Good stop from Gaston who makes himself a big target to beat and blocks Fitzpatrick's effort after he brings the ball on to his left foot.

33’

32’Arbroath corner from the right
 
31’

A teasing cross from Lawless is a shade too close to Gaston who collects ahead of Alston. 

 
30’

Milne lifts a pass over the Arbroath defence to find Graham but once more the flag is up for offside. 

 
26’

A shot from Lyon from outside the box is straight at Sneddon. 

 
25’

McIntosh is fouled wide on the left and Arbroath have a free kick in a dangerous position. It's a poor free kick though and Sneddon makes an easy catch. 

 
22’

An Arbroath free kick from the right is delivered deep into the Thistle box. Nobody can get a touch to it, and Thistle have a goal kick. 

 
18’

Sneddon produces a fine stop to keep out Bird's deflected shot. 

 
16’

Fitzpatrick starts and nearly finishes a move. He passes to Lawless who returns the pass. Fitzpatrick though can't get enough elevation on his chipped effort to beat Gaston. 

 
15’

A lovely pass from McInroy puts Fitzpatrick clear on goal. The flag goes up for offside thought. That looked tight. 

11’Goal Thistle! Brian Graham
Thistle 1 - Arbroath 0

First blood to Thistle. Graham is on the end of a long pass from McMillan. It looks as if Gaston might get to it first but Graham wins the race, takes the ball past the keeper and from an angle rolls the ball home. 

 
10’

There is a push on Graham as Jacobs' corner comes over and Thistle have a free kick. 

09’Arbroath corner from the left
