Match Report

TTA report

Top of the league Hibs (with Rangers at their heels) scraped through with a goal from a long punt up field (55). Unlucky not to take a point, Thistle had most of the play and had the home crowd whistling for full-time as Hibs were pushed further and further back but they lacked composure up front.
