Match Report

TTA report

4th bottom Thistle lost Walker to injury (suspected broken toe, 25) so it was a well-earned draw. There were chances at both ends and 4th top Hibs hit the bar with Smith beaten. They took the lead (49) but Thistle's 10 men fought on. Sharp headed against the bar then a Davidson 30-yard free-kick (61) saw Thistle take a point.
