Arbroath 1-3 Partick Thistle: Aidan Fitzpatrick scores twice in Scottish Championship win

Aidan Fitzpatrick scored in each half in a straightforward win for Partick Thistle

Partick Thistle consolidated their place in the Scottish Championship promotion play-offs with a straightforward victory at Arbroath.

Aidan Fitzpatrick scored in each half, and Brian Graham added a third, to earn Kris Doolan's side the points that keep them in third place.

Kerr McInroy was the supplier for both of Fitzpatrick's goals, while Graham took advantage of a slack pass back to complete the win.

Stevie Lawless missed a penalty and Harry Milne had an effort disallowed but that mattered little in the end.

Neither did Jermaine Hylton's late consolation, as defeat means Arbroath remain in seventh place.
