Match Report

TTA report

The teams were evenly matched for the first 20 minutes or so. Williamson and Ewing posed early problems but Rangers went 2 ahead on the half-hour with some sparkling forward play. 2 quick goals after the break (including an OG by McKinnon) killed Thistle off. Muir scored with a lob (89) but it meant little.
