Match Report

TTA report

An unchanged Thistle again faced Hibs' “famous 5” forwards but they were kept at bay by Henderson's magnificent goalkeeping. A corner from Walker was headed in by an unmarked McCallum (46). Thistle were pinned back but survived - with the help of a post and lots of luck - having taken 1 chance out of 2!
