Match Report

TTA report

The teams traded chances until McParland's header (13). It was mostly Thistle but a pen (40) saw Hibs (bottom and pointless) level. The second half was scrappy and tough. Duffy, on his debut, came in for rough treatment but McParland completed a hat-trick (57 and 61). A comfortable win.
