TTA report

Thistle finished the league season with a big Friday night win. They went behind to a fine solo effort (5) then Ewing equalised with a pen. Rae and McParland then capitalised on hesitant defending for 3-1. 4th top Hibs scored (suspiciously off-side, 57) but a glorious 25-yard shot by Cunningham sealed it (73).

● Thistle play their 2000th match in the top-flight of Scottish League football.

ongoing sequences:

● 175 consecutive competitive appearances for Davie McParland, 25th Nov 1961 to date, a new personal best. (Longest run since the Club-record: Johnny Jackson - 313 games, 28th Aug 1926 to 25th Mar 1933.)
