Match Report

TTA report

“Stupefying mediocrity” (GH). The midfield was packed with players and chances were few. Hibs scored (41) when Rough's scooped save was deemed over the line. Some magnificent saves in the second half kept Thistle in it then McQuade ran straight past 3 defenders and shot home from 20 yards (84).
