Match report

United’s best opportunity came from a free-kick by Alan Archibald but Arthur in the Thistle goal saved well. The visitor’s best chance also came from a free kick, by Fleming, which Gallacher did well to tip over the bar.

The second half saw changes in the Tangerines line-up and a succession of opportunities were presented but the Thistle defence kept United out, Arthur in particular playing well and making a string of crucial saves. Dodds and Paterson were thwarted by the keeper early in the half and later Samuel was twice denied and McCracken had a powerful header saved. Partick had fewer chances and Gallacher did well to save one-handed from Thomson when the visitors broke forward.
