AIDAN FITZPATRICK isn’t exactly known for his dominance in the air. The winger generally relies on his pace and trickery to make life difficult for the opposition, and rarely even attempts heading the ball. Yet it was the 21-year-old’s 80th-minute looping header that eventually undid Arbroath and sent the Jags through to the quarter-finals of the Premier Sports Cup on Tuesday night.
The goal was no less than the home side deserved, having dominated possession throughout the contest and fashioning decent opportunities on a regular basis. But for a close-range save right at the death, Thistle goalkeeper David Mitchell wasn’t seriously troubled by the visitors.
