TTA report

Hibs scored (13) with a cheeky, quickly taken 25-yard free-kick as the defenders were retreating but Stott scored twice (a short free-kick from Davidson, 41 and a header, 42) then Walker scored from close in (44). Hibs scored (soft penalty, 67) but Crawford hooked home a long Thomson throw-in (73). A fine win.
