Match Report

TTA report

Play early on was “fast but erratic“ (DET). There were chances at both ends but Rangers' keeper was the busier. Thistle “surprised Rangers with their dash“ and Bowie scored (a low shot, close in). The second half was mostly defending. Rangers “had to bow the knee to the smartness of Thistle's forwards“ (DC).
