Match Report

TTA report

Top of the league Rangers were too good for Thistle - despite missing some of their main players. A brilliant turn and shot by Peat gave Thistle a half-time lead but goals 54, 57 and 83 put Rangers well ahead. Henderson had one of his best ever games. Sutherland, Husband and Linwood were excellent as well.
