Match Report

TTA report

Thistle's forwards were “dilatory in finishing“ (GH) and defensive mistakes were punished. Rangers took the lead (23) then added a 2nd just after half-time. Wallace scored with a penalty (60, defender fisted the ball away) but 2 further goals gave Rangers a deserved victory - although the score flattered them.
