Match Report

TTA report

3rd top Hibs again proved to be far too good for Thistle. They chased the game from the 3rd minute and trailed 3-0 before new signing Mathie reduced the lead (70) but 2 more goals underlined Hibs' superiority. Brown and Husband did their best. “Neat and nimble Hibs made Thistle look like cart horses” (SP).
