Match Report

TTA report

Ibrox. Only 500 turned up to see a one-sided affair. Ballantyne (25), McGregor and Kennedy scored then Morton scored on a breakaway (42) to make it 3-1 at half-time. Even against the wind, Thistle dominated and Ballantyne and Robertson (F) added 2 more. The takings (£18) fell well short of Morton's guarantee.
