Match Report

TTA report

The pitch was scarcely playable and fog-bound but Thistle were the better team for long spells. Fraser was sent off (60) then Rangers scored from the spot a min later. Torbet then saw his penalty saved. The 10 men were never inferior and it was a fortunate win for top of the league Rangers.
