A controversial penalty gave Partick Thistle a late winner as they beat battling Berwick Rangers 2-1.

After being up-ended by Martin Neil in the area, Scott McLean scored from the spot to seal all three points for the Jags.

Berwick had the better of the first half with the wind and rain behind them, with Kevin Magee an inspiration in midfield as he provided the cross from which Gary Wood headed Rangers in front after 35 minutes.

But McLean equalised seven minutes later when he turned the ball in from close range after great work by Danny Lennon.

In a second half dominated by Partick, Alan Archibald went close while Berwick's Wood just failed to touch in a Craig Findlay cross before McLean was on hand to slot home the winner.
