Match Report

TTA report

Thistle had their share of chances but Hibs gave Thistle a football lesson with flowing moves that sliced open the defence at will. When a defender slipped Gibson scored (46) and shocked Hibs into retrieving the situation. A powerful shot got them a deserved equaliser (54). They hit the woodwork 3 times. A lucky point.

Media report

Alex Cameron, 27-Aug-1995, Daily Record

MURDO MacLEOD insisted good football will NOT be enough to win prizes this season. Partick Thistle's new boss claimed EVERY team will need battlers to succeed. MacLeod owned up after his side stole a point in a draw that was right out of the Dick Turpin daylight robbery manual. Hibs were furious, recalling that 17draws last season dropped them to third in the League. Playing slickly but missing chances, they kept at it doggedly despite the infuriating brilliance of Jags keeper Nicky Walker.
