Partick Thistle Football Club

There was little festive cheer at Firhill as Thistle's miserable run against Ross County continued.

County hit the front in the 24^th minute when Sean Higgins deftly chipped the ball over the head of Jonny Tuffey.

Thistle rarely looked like equalising although Liam Buchanan did see a header clip the top of the bar as half-time drew near.

Thistle's misery increased when Marc Twaddle was sent off for a second bookable offence with 20 minutes of the game remaining and salt was rubbed into Thistle's wounds four minutes from the end when Higgins netted his second goal of the afternoon.
