Match Report

TTA report

Thistle (unchanged for 10 matches) went 1-up when Ewing pounced on a poor pass and set up Smith (28) but 2 goals (63 and 68) won it. A good match was latterly marred by rough-house tactics by Rangers. The winner was yards off-side and a hand ball in the build-up was “a travesty of a legitimate score” (GH).
