93’Full Time Report

A really poor display leaves Thistle's hopes of progressing to the knock out stages of the Premier Sports Cup hanging by a thread. 

 
93’Full Time
 
90’+02’

A Mackay cross hit in hope goes out of play. 

 
90’+01’

Bannigan's ball into the box drifts out for a goal kick. That will be that. 

 
90’

Into added time. 

 
89’

Kinnear saves but can't hold Fitzpatrick's shot. The ball though squirms away from Graham. 

 
88’

Turner again finds Ashcroft with the corner and again Ashcroft's header goes wide. 

87’Thistle corner from the right
85’Goal Clyde! Logan Dunachie
Thistle 2 - Clyde 3

It doesn't look as if Thistle will get even a single point never mind all three. Rennie does well to cross and Dunachie powers a header into the net. 

 
83’

Thistle really need the three points tonight and time is running out. Clyde in no hurry to take this goal kick. 

 
82’

A Fitzpatrick header goes wide. Decent enough header but not really threatening the Clyde goal. 

 
82’

Thistle are a little exposed and the ball is worked to Docherty at the edge of the box but he lifts his shot over the bar. 

 
80’

Turner's pass goes just the wrong side of Graham. 

78’Clyde substitution: Dominic Docherty replaces Barry Cuddihy
78’Clyde substitution: Jordan Allan replaces Liam Scullion
77’Thistle substitution: Stuart Bannigan replaces Daniel O'Reilly
77’Thistle substitution: Ricco Diack replaces Wasiri Williams
 
77’

Wasiri overhits a cross with players in the box. 

 
76’

McCready gets his body behind the ball to save from Connolly. 

 
75’

It's a poor free kick from Turner in any case and Kinnear collects. 

 
75’

Robinson is fouled just as he looks like getting clear. Thistle have a free kick but Clyde get the chance to get men behind the ball. 

 
74’

Turner does well to find McBeth with the free kick but his effort to get the ball across goal is tame and goes out for a goal kick. 

 
73’

Graham is fouled near the halfway line and Thistle have a free kick and a chance to get the ball forward into the Clyde box. 

 
71’

Kinnear gets down to make a comfortable save from Ashcroft's header.

71’Thistle corner from the left

Thistle break from the Clycde corner. Mackay has pace to burn and hew finds Fitzpatrick to his left. His cross looks set to be converted to give Thistle the lead only for a last ditch clearance 

70’Clyde corner from the right
69’Clyde substitution: Darren Hynes replaces Lee Hamilton
 
68’

The tempo from Thistle has been so much better since the equaliser. 

67’Clyde substitution: Lee Connolly replaces Robbie Leitch
67’Clyde substitution: Lee Connolly replaces Marley Redfern
66’Thistle corner from the left

Another great save from Kinnear this time to deny McBeth. 

66’Thistle corner from the left
 
66’

A great Thistle move ends with Kinnear saving from Turner. 

 
65’

Fitzpatrick brushes past Howie but his effort is saved at his near post by Kinnear. 

 
64’

Turner's corner is cleared. 

64’Thistle corner from the right
 
63’

Crowd: 2,848

 
62’

Graham isn't far away from connecting with a Fitzpatrick cross. 

62’Thistle substitution: Daniel Mackay replaces Logan Chalmers
62’Thistle substitution: Scott Robinson replaces Robbie Crawford
 
61’

A Cuddihy shot is well wide of the Thistle goal. 

60’Goal Thistle! Brian Graham
Thistle 2 - Clyde 2

A much needed equaliser. Graham is on the end of Crawford's pass and he gets clear of the last defender before shooting home. Three for the season for Thistle's number 9. 

 
59’

There's activity on the Thistle bench. 

 
58’

Turner's corner goes deep. Ashcroft stretches to reach it but his header goes harmlessly wide of goal. 

57’Thistle corner from the right

Robson nearly slices the ball into his own net. 

 
54’

Muirhead is caught full in the face as he blocks a Leitch volley. 

 
52’

Fitzpatrick initially does well but over hits his pass looking for Wasiri on the overlap. 

 
51’

Howie sends a shot well wide of McCready's goal. 

 
50’

A Graham header from a Wasiri cross following good work from Chalmers goes wide. Better from Thistle. 

 
47’

It's a free header for Cuddihy at the corner. Fortunately he can do no better than head tamely wide. 

46’Clyde corner from the left

Nearly a third for Clyde but a timely block comes in to deny Leitch. 

 
45’

Back underway. No changes from Thistle at the break. 

 
45’Kick-Off (2nd half)
45’+04’Half Time Report

A first half to forget as Thistle fail to build on an early lead. 

A crazy own goal gets Clyde level, Thistle keeper David Mitchell to injury in the process, before Dunachie fires the visitors into the lead. 

To say it needs to improve in the second half is a massive understatement. 

 
45’+04’Half-Time
 
45’+01’

The free kick is cleared. Chalmers picks the ball up but his low drive is blocked by a defender. 

 
45’+01’

Graham is pulled back and Thistle have a free kick wide on the left. 

 
45’

Into first half-time injury time. Should be a good few minutes of that following Mitchell's injury. 

43’Goal Clyde! Logan Dunachie
Thistle 1 - Clyde 2

Clyde break after Wasiri's cutback is cleared. Dunachie is too quick for Ashcroft and he buries a low shit past McCready. 

 
38’

It's just not happening for Thistle at the moment as Crawford's pass goes behind Chalmers before an O'Reilly pass goes out for a throw. 

 
36’

Turner's corner is headed clear. 

36’Thistle corner from the left
 
33’

Ashcroft gets his head to the ball but it drops wide without threatening the Clyde goal. 

33’Thistle corner from the right
 
32’

Kinnear makes an easy catch to claim Turner's corner. 

31’Thistle corner from the left
31’Thistle substitution: Mason McCready replaces David Mitchell

Sure enough Mason McCready is coming on to make his Partick Thistle first team debut. 

 
29’

Mitchell is down again. Looks as if a change is coming. 

 
28’

Mitchell looks okay to continue. 

 
27’

Mitchell is still down injured. Anxious moments for Thistle. 

26’Goal Clyde! Lee Ashcroft (own goal)
Thistle 1 - Clyde 1

It's a crazy goal to lose. Ashcroft's pass back is far too strong. Mitchell immediately looks in trouble and he can't keep the ball out and injures himself in the process. 

 
24’

Chalmers has the ball inside the Clyde box on the right. He pulls the ball onto his left foot and tries to bend a shot into the far corner but doesn't get enough curl on the ball and it goes out for a goal kick. 

 
21’

Although Cuddihy's corner comes to nothing this is a decent wee spell for Clyde who are playing more of the game inside the Thistle half. 

20’Clyde corner from the right
 
14’

There is a hint of a chance for Clyde as a cross comes over from the right. Mitchell doesn't collect but the referee spots a foul on Muirhead and Thistle have a free kick. 

 
12’

That's a nasty one for Dunachie who is caught by Wasiri's high foot. 

03’Goal Thistle! Aidan Fitzpatrick
Thistle 1 - Clyde 0

Just the start that Thistle wanted and is an absolute cracker from Aidan Fitzpatrick who fires home from outside the box after some great link up play with Kyle Turner. 

 
01’

Kinnear has to hurry to get to a through ball ahead of Graham. 

 
01’

Dan O'Reilly is occupying the left back role vacated by the injured Harry Milne. 

 
00’

Thistle kick-off and will shoot towards the John Lambie Stand in the first half. 

 
00’Kick-Off
