Match Report

TTA report

Thistle might well have deserved a point on their much improved performance. Fraser gave them the lead on half-time but Rangers scored (75 and 79). Thistle were good value but their lightweight forwards lacked physical presence. Gibson, thrown into his 1st game at No5 was magnificent.
