Match Report

TTA report

“Rangers somewhat lucky” (GH). Thistle were the better team early on and Ewing hit the bar. Ledgerwood saved a feeble pen and Smith saw 2 shots cleared off the line. Eventually Rangers' power told and they scored (50). Wright hit the post from 30 yards late on and a draw would have been deserved.
