Match Report

TTA report

Third-top Hibs scored almost at will 1, 9 (Thistle looking for off-side), 31, 37, 41 (Freebairn dropped the ball), 49 (Freebairn dropped the ball over the line), 57, 66, 73 and 77. They also had 2 goals disallowed for off-side. Bizarrely, unchanged Thistle had as much of the play but Smith's double (54 and 71) meant little.
