Match Report

TTA report

“It's the best of Britton” (SM). Hibs hit the bar (4). A Britton goal (35) when he steered in a McKilligan cross won the points. Despite there being nothing at stake Irons (his last game for the club) clashed with Evans and both were sent off (44). A good save from Nelson kept it at 1-0 but Thistle were always comfortable.

Media report

15-May-1993, Press Association

Hibs went close after four minutes when a shot from Evans crashed against the crossbar. After half an hour Ray Farningham got his head to a cut back from Alex Taylor but could not get any power behind his effort. Five minutes later Partick opened the scoring with a well-worked goal when Neil McKilligan cut the ball back for Gerry Britton to score with a low 10-yard shot. Partick almost made it 2-0 shortly afterwards. A shot from Albert Craig took a wicked deflection off Hibs defender Stephen Tweed but the ball went just past the post. Hibs striker Gareth Evans and Partick defender Dave Irons were sent off in the last minute of the first-half. They tussled as they chased a loose ball and then hit out at each other, earning a red card from referee Les Mottram. With six minutes left Britton almost made it 2-0 when he was just inches away from connecting with a cross from George Shaw.
