TTA report

The slide down the league continued. Hibs (13 points/14) outplayed Thistle (3/14). They took the lead (26) but O'Hara equalised when he latched on to a pass-back (37). Ex-JAG Duncan scored from 25 yards (43) and a 20-yard free-kick finished it (89). Rough prevented a more embarrassing scoreline.
