Match Report

TTA report

Rangers were a little sharper in attack but the result went right down to the wire. They went 2-up with Hogan limping on the left wing but Hainey (a free-kick, 42 and a spin and shot, 44) put unchanged Thistle level. Rangers went 4-2 up then lame-duck Hogan pulled one back (84) but Rangers just edged it.
