Match Report

TTA report

Thistle had no-one except Newall to match Rangers' eager forwards. They fought to the end but were “outmatched in strategy and pace“ (SC). Husband was outstanding but it wasn't enough and goals 36, 59 and 87 did the damage. Stanley Matthews guesting for Rangers was clearly unfit.
