Match Report

TTA report

Thistle had suggested Ibrox as the venue. 60,000+ saw them have the first 20 minutes but Rangers scored (24) and with a pen for hand ball (27). Late pressure was fruitless - the forwards visibly tired against stronger defenders. Worse, several papers reported they “surrendered“ when Rangers went 2-up.
