Match Report

TTA report

Ibrox. 13,000 saw Thistle take the game to a poor Rangers side early on and Kennedy hit the post with the keeper beaten. Rangers broke away and opened the scoring. It was mostly Rangers with the wind at their backs in the second half and they scored again (65). Some magnificent defending kept it at 2-0.
