Match Report

TTA report

Back to full strength, but Thistle were no match for below par Celtic. They started both halves well enough but faded. Sommen wasted a chance to take the lead then an early goal (Howden at fault) and a pen made it 2-0 at half-time. Kennedy missed an open goal then a “soft goal“ (DEP) made it 3 in a poor second half.
