Match Report

TTA report

“Scoring made simple” (GH). Hibs were streets ahead in taking chances. Thistle's ponderous forwards wasted their generous share of the play. Stott reduced the lead to 3-1 (52) only for Hibs to score twice more. Strange to relate, the Hibs keeper was by far the busier. Ledgerwood had virtually nothing to do.
