Match Report

TTA report

Four goals underlined Rangers' superiority but Thistle played well in the first half. McCrindle limped on the wing for most of the game and Johnstone split a finger at Rangers' 4th goal. McLeod went into goal. It was their best display of the season and Thistle's only response was a McKennan pen (88).
