Match Report

TTA report

Hibs should have been 2-up in 2 mins. McParland lobbed the goalkeeper for the opener (15) but 3rd top Hibs scored 25, 44 and 45 and hit the post once. In the second half they eased off although a pen (foul by Harvey, 70) then a header (71) completed a miserable performance. Thistle were seldom seen in attack.
