Match Report

TTA report

Unbeaten Hibs, who went top, had 3 players on Scottish International duty and manifestly had no need to ask for a postponement. To be fair however, Wright tore a muscle in 15 minutes and the score flattered them. Thistle trailed 3-0 at half-time but the injured Wright scored (51) and O'Donnell's header at 6-1 (80) was some consolation.
