Match Report

TTA report

40,000 paid £916 and saw Rangers chalk up an easy win. Thistle trailed 1-0 at half-time and on the balance of play it should have been worse. It was 2-0 before Bowie reduced the lead but Rangers went on to win convincingly. Thistle were dogged but 2nd best in all departments. “Simply, smothered” (SP).
