Match Report

TTA report

Unchanged Thistle were seldom at the races as Hibs rattled in 4 well-worked goals (8, 27, 29 and 55) without reply. They did have a spell of pressure at the start of the second half but made little impression. A header by Smith 3 minutes from time was Thistle's only consolation and they were well beaten.
