Thistle trailed 1-0 at half-time and the performance had largely been a defensive one. McCorkindale in goal kept Celtic at bay for some time but 2 further goals saw them through comfortably to the next round. Celtic “were inclined to be a little rough” (NEP). “An easy thing for the Glasgow Irishmen” (DC).
