Match Report

TTA report

Wallace scored with an early penalty (hand ball) but Hibs equalised soon after. They always looked the more likelier side but it took until 8 minutes from time for them to score again. By that time McSpadyen - who had been Thistle's best player - had gone off injured. Hibs eased their relegation worries.
