Match Report

TTA report

Shankly was unavailable but this was a much better performance. Thistle played some attractive football, were solid in defence but lacked a cutting edge. Colgan equalised (43) Rangers' opener (26) with a “picture header” (SP) but a dramatic drive (83) finished it. Thistle had “gusto but no guile”.
