Match Report

TTA report

Thistle started well in this match against top of the league Rangers. Shankly gave them a deserved half-time lead with a glorious 30-yard drive (20). Rangers equalised (48) following some poor defensive work and a brilliant solo run produced the winner (73) as Thistle faded from the scene.
