Match Report

TTA report

Hibs, sitting 4th, were too good for seriously weakened Thistle. Ledgerwood kept it scoreless with some fine saves but Hibs caught them out with an 18-yard shot following a quick throw-in (55) then a penalty made it 2-0 (foul, 61). Thistle fought on and only great saves late on denied Howitt and Walker a goal.
