Match Report

TTA report

Thistle didn't play badly but 3rd top Hibs always had more to offer. A pen gave them the lead (27) and it wasn't until they scored again (66) that the result was settled. Thistle played some crisp football in the first half and withstood Hibs playing down the slope in the 2nd. All in all, not too disheartening.
