TTA report

On a poor surface but in fine weather, more than 10,000 saw Rangers take the lead (15) but Thistle were “full of life” (GH) and equalised from a corner (McDougall) before half-time. They tired badly and their shooting was poor so once Rangers got their 2nd (suspiciously off-side), they scored at will.

● 22-year-old Archie McDonald plays his last game for Thistle.

● Thistle appear in their third Scottish Cup Quarter Final, but fail to progress for the third time.
