Hamilton Accies suffered a fourth defeat on the spin as Championship leaders Partick Thistle inflicted more misery on the struggling South Lanarkshire side.
It was a spirited display from Accies following last week's 5-0 thrashing at Morton, but the Jags still walked away with all three points thanks to strikes from Brian Graham and substitute Scott Tiffoney, either side of Andy Ryan's leveller for Accies early in the second half.
Accies threw everything at it late on and Ryan was denied a last-gasp equaliser by a superb save from Jamie Sneddon.
