Match Report

TTA report

3 chances were wasted in the first 6 minutes but Thistle were on top and Ewing scored with a header (7). Poor defensive play let in Rangers twice (33 and 38) for a lead they scarcely deserved. Boots flew after that and Brown limped on the wing in the second half, Bell went off for stitches and Mathers went off (85).
