Match Report

TTA report

It was largely a rear-guard action as 3rd top Rangers pressed for virtually the whole match. Thistle might have capitalised early on before Rangers got going but once they did, there was never any chance of a surprise. Goals (40 and 77) by future-JAG Gillick saw Thistle off. They were best served by Henderson and Curran.
