Match Report

TTA report

“Thistle were trampled on and squashed“ (SP). A hat-trick by Smith - who would become one of the “Famous Five“ - helped Hibs to an easy win. Thistle were seldom in the game. The defence was stretched, the forwards were poor. Newall deserved the consolation goal (68) when it was 4-0.
