Match Report

TTA report

Future-JAG Niven had a magnificent save to deny Stott with a free-kick then Thistle had strong claims for a pen turned down. A header from a free-kick gave Rangers the lead (42) then a disputed pen made it 2-0 (44). McInnes ran from half-way and beat the keeper all ends up (72) but Rangers (glad to hear the final whistle) just edged it and went top.
