93’Full Time Report

It's a comfortable win for Thistle as they maintain their unbeaten home league record. 

The gap at the top remains at five points but the win does mean that Thistle now can't be caught for second place.

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

Thistle in control at the break. 

It will be interesting to see if Fitzpatrick is back on for the second half after pulling up just before the break. It looked to be his knee rather than a hamstring issue. 

 
45’+02’Half-Time
 
45’+01’

There is a thumbs up from the physio and Fitzpatrick is back on his feet.

29’

Break in play as a Dunfermline player receives some treatment. 

 
28’

A Stanway shot isn't too far wide of goal. 

 
26’

Applause rings out around the ground as a banner is unfurled declaring that "there is no place for racism at Firhill'. Clearly in response to the racist vandalism at the KDM Evolution Trophy final last Sunday. 

21’Goal Thistle! Alex Samuel

In next to no time Thistle double their lead. Fitzpatrick breezes past his marker and lays the ball on a plate for Samuel who nets his second of the game and 12th of the season. 

17’Goal Thistle! Alex Samuel
Thistle 1 - Dunfermline Athletic 0

16’

Huge shouts for a handball and a Thistle penalty. Referee Clancy though plays on. Boos ringing out. 

 
15’

It's a short corner worked to Todd. He fires a cross towards the back post that Tod can't quite get on the end of.

14’Dunfermline Athletic corner from the right
 
13’

Ingram does well to get the ball away from Todd in Dunfermline's first real attack. 

 
10’

After an excellent pass from Ingram Lets'osa sees his cross cleared. 

 
09’

Stanway is fouled and Thistle have a free kick inside the Dunfermline half.

03’Thistle corner from the left

Fitzpatrick's cross is scrambled behind for the game's first corner.

Dunfermline kick-off. Thistle shooting towards the John Lambie Stand in the first half.
