Match Report

TTA report

Crawford (a “young player of promise” (GH)) neatly headed Thistle into the lead (15) but a blunder by Ledgerwood led to the equaliser (30). He more than made up for it in the second half after Stott scored (47) when there was a Rangers onslaught but Thistle survived and MacKenzie made a rare Ibrox win secure (88).
