Match Report

TTA report

An energetic first half saw chances at both ends with Hibs having the bulk of them. A world-class save denied Lyons on the half hour. Hibs were awarded a pen but the ref missed an earlier off-side flag (57) and Thistle survived another pen scare a few minutes later. A late winner from a low cross saw Thistle off.

Media report

05-May-1996, Sunday Mirror

A Darren Jackson goal four minutes from time keeps the pressure piled on Thistle. And powder-puff Partick will need to sharpen up their act to survive the play-off. They meet Dundee United next Sunday in the first leg of their battle for Premier Division life. And even against Div One opposition they might just struggle to stay in the top flight. Murdo MacLeod has them organised and playing neatly but they never looked like beating Scotland's Jim Leighton. Hibs were not much better but Jackson's late strike sealed victory. Referee Bill Young gave a soft penalty to the home side in 50 minutes after Milnes' push on Keith Wright, but justice was done when the linesman indicated an earlier offside. And on 86 minutes sub Gareth Evans released Jackson and his left-foot shot beat Walker.
