Match Report

TTA report

To open Helenvale sports ground. The Duke of York kicked off and Rangers did everything but score early on. Collins gave unchanged Thistle the lead (25) but 2 goals before and 4 after half-time emphasised Rangers' superiority. Probably just as well the second half was restricted to 30 minutes.
