Match Report

TTA report

2nd top Hibs swept Thistle (weakened by injuries) aside with ease. They played some neat football in the build up but lacked any sort of final product. Trailing 2-0 at half-time, they were down and out at 5-0 before Wright scored a consolation goal 3 minutes from time. They slumped to 4th bottom, 2 points off a relegation place.
