Match Report

TTA report

A Forrest hat-trick gave Rangers an easy win. Goals on 25, 29 and 51 minutes killed off Thistle who struggled continuously and almost never worried Rangers. But for some magnificent saves by Niven it could have been much worse. Only Cunningham and Duffy impressed and new signing Yard got no service.
