Scott McDonald's goal was his fourth in six games for Thistle

Falkirk and Partick Thistle shared the points for the third time this season in the only Championship fixture to survive Saturday's weather.

The visitors went ahead after just 10 minutes through Scott McDonald.

But Falkirk equalised just before half-time when Ian McShane slid in his third goal of the season from close range.

Despite further chances at either end, neither side could find a winner, so Falkirk stay eighth, one point ahead of Thistle, who have a game in hand.

Falkirk manager Ray McKinnon: "It was a frustrating result, but there were some nerves out there given the magnitude of the game.

"The standard wasn't where it should have been for both sides. Being at home, we are probably looking at it as two points dropped, but it is still just one defeat in nine."

Partick Thistle manager Gary Caldwell: "That was frustrating because we played better than Falkirk and should have been more than one goal in front before losing a sloppy goal.

"We were the only team trying to win the game in the second half, but we created our own problems. There was a lack of cutting edge from us and a lack of killing a team off when were were on top."
