Match Report

TTA report

A pen (15) for hand ball by Forsyth on the line and a header (43) meant the second half a tedious formality. Rampant Rangers swept Thistle aside. McGowan (who had an excellent game despite his botched clearance OG (68) was off injured for part of the second half. Most of the 68,000 crowd left well before the end.
