TTA report

Rangers dominated but only had a 1-goal lead at half-time. Rearranged due to injury, they scored twice more after the break against the run of play. Thistle played well -especially at half-back - but the forwards were too small and lightweight. The 47-48 season ended with defeat by Rangers in 3 cup competitions.
