Match Report

TTA report

The Thistle defence was caught cold and Hibs took the lead (5). It was almost 2-0 soon after then Smith shot just wide. Thistle played well but lacked punch up front. A 40-yard run by Howitt through the Hibs defence set up Crowe for an equaliser (68) but 2 quick goals (75 and a pen, 76) killed the game.
