TTA report

“Rangers lucky to draw“ (GH). A good performance by injury-hit Thistle on a bone-hard pitch. Hainey scored from a narrow angle (28) and Thistle dominated. A pen looked like the only way Rangers would score and it duly came (83) then Ewing was fouled in the box but sent the pen wide (88).
