Match Report

TTA report

Ledgerwood palmed away a cross and gifted 2nd top Hibs the lead (39) but Sharp scored from a Walker corner 4 minutes after half-time. Thistle had far less of the ball but were just as dangerous as Hibs, although most of the heroics were in defence. Stott could have stolen it (90). Fine defence against Hibs' “famous five“.
