On Police requirements it was all-ticket.

TTA report

2nd top Rangers opened the scoring due to squandered possession (18) but Sharp equalised with a header at the far post (45). A poor clearance led to Rangers' 2nd (65) then a back-header from a disputed free-kick (74) saw Thistle off. They played well but rare individual errors by Davidson and Gibb cost them.

ongoing sequences:
